Fajita Mixes

Most of the time I like to cook from scratch with basic ingredients. However there are some products that are worth a second look. These are mostly those products that are specific sauces with many special ingredients for a recipe originating in another country – such as a curry or a sweet and sour sauce. These are particularly useful for a beginner cook or a cook that is not confident enough to just have a go and trust their own instincts

So when I was asked to try some of the Discovery product, the fajita sauce I knew I would be happy to review them.

So unless you intend to cook fajitas every week it probably isn’t worth it.

The team at Discovery did ask me to come up with a recipe too. Well I could hardly come up with recipe that was on the pack – so here is something a little different – and in keeping with the easy and low cost ethos of my website

Fajita Style Cottage Pie
