Anything Mexican to me is GREAT
Mexican food has always been my go to meal. With a Thermomix it makes it oh so easy and tasty.Â
On our birthdays in this family YOU choose either the restaurant to go to or the food that is cooked at home. Mine is ALWAYS Mexican.
The flavours are incredible but not really great for the waist line so, I decided to change that. This is a totally yummy meal with half the "extra" without substituting on flavour.
It really is worth the little effort to make this.
All mixed and ready to roll
The wraps are thin - GENTLE!
All set for the oven
