Our Six Favourite Mexican Dishes

1 Mexican Rostada

This is a “posh” take on the Mexican-inspired ‘tostada,’ extracted from the cookbook Posh Eggs. It’s a breakfast for champions, sure to kick-start your day with sriracha hot sauce, red onion, coriander and green chilli.

2 Beef Fajitas

From Ben’s Meat Bible by Ben O’Donoghue we bring you a little bit of spice paired with a whole lot of deliciousness in the form of beef fajitas! Mexican soulfulness at its finest.

3 Baja Fish Tacos

Fish + Tacos + Pickling. In this recipe, pickling master, Freddie Janssen shows you how to create your own pickled jalapeno slaw to pair with a succulent fish taco. Perfect Spring time eating!

4 Pork Tamales

Need some extra Mexican snacks to keep you going later on? Traditionally served at Christmas and New Year these festive little bundles of stuffed corn dough are easy to make and are sure to keep everyone happy. Serve it with a side of fresh tomato salsa to keep things cool.

5 Guacamole

Corn chips and guacamole? Sign us up! This guacamole is a fusion of avocado, pickled jalapenos, onion, coriander, tomatoes and chilli, brought you by Randwick’s very own funky Mexican establishment, Mexico Lindo.

6 Duck Tacos with Cherry Salsa

Be inspired before cherry season comes around with these unique tacos – be sure to keep this recipe on hand as cherry season only lasts 100 days!
