One of my favourite cuisines is Mexican. I love all the spice and cheese, and I'm always looking to find a way of making syn free versions of my favourite dishes. This is a super simple dish that is really versatile. You can put it all in one dish, pop it in the oven and wait!
It has super yummy lime and chilli flavours and is packed with speed veg! I cooked this dish for 1 person, and had plenty left over for lunches for the next few days, so this could serve up to 4 in one go. You could bulk the meal out by adding extra portions of rice.
If you like Mexican flavours, check out my Mexican Chicken lasagna , Mexican Enchilada Lasagna, Mexican Turkey Steaks & Herby Garlic Wedges, or Pulled Fajita Chicken!
