Welcome to Live Well by Raquel, where I share easy and wholesome recipes to nourish your body and mind.
Gluten Free Mexican Feast is the perfect style to feed a crowd. Just last week, I cooked for my son and his 12 mates, all strapping young men and hungry! The idea is to cook up a feast and leave them to enjoy. Its filling, delicious and easy!
Gluten Free Mexican Feast is all about flavours that brings together the Mexican authetinic flavours whilst changing a few ingredients to create a gluten free version. Noone will know the difference!


Why I Love This Recipe
I love this recipe because everyone loves Mexican. Its filling, enjoyable, hands on to create your own serving. Its colourful and delicious!
Ingredients
- MINCE: You can choose beef or pork or both!
- CUMIN: This spice develops the mexican authenticity
- RED ONION: For a sweet taste
- SMOKED PAPRIKA: The other spice that bring this dish together
- PASSATA: The glossy sauce that brings this dish together!
- RED KIDNEY BEANS: Make this dish go further with the beans mixed through the mince
- TO SERVE: Corn Chips, GF Tortilla Wraps, Tomato, Lettuce, Cheese, Corn, Chilli, Sour Cream, Gucamole
Instructions

- Let’s get cooking! In large frypan, add a dash of olive oil. Add the onion and spices. Cook for a few minutes to allow the flavours to develop
- Add the mince and stir through the flavours. Spread the mince evenly throughout the plan. Then pour in the passatta and season with salt pepper
- I like to cover the pan with foil to allow the heat to cook through the meat. Add a little water to keep ensure the sauce is not thickening too much through the cooking process.
- Once cooked, add the red kidney beans. Stir through to complete the dish!
- Meanwhile, create a platter of goodness to create the burritos – chopped tomato, shredded cheese, sour cream, fresh chilli, shredded lettuce. Chilli sauce, corn chips in bowls and the gluten free tortilla wraps ready to enjoy
