You can make your own taco spice mix or take it easy and buy ready made. This recipe is great for a party or a family movie night.
Spice up your night with these bite-sized tacos. I’m not sure whether these are less messy to eat than the bigger version. I guess it depends how big your mouth is… Wine+ These may be tiny but they are packed with flavour. A red would be too much so we’ve gone for a Chardonnay from Chile – as near as we can get to Mexico. Montes Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2015 from Majestics would be a good
choice (£9.99). Wonderful fresh, aromatic fruit flavours coupled with just a hint of well-balanced oak will match the weight of the dish and pair well with
the fresh salsa.
