mexican hotpot

MEXICAN STYLE HOTPOT On cold rainy days all we want to eat is comfort food. This recipe is adapted from a traditional hotpot my dad use to make us when we were kids, it’s probably one of five recipes he has in his repertoire when he made this my sister and I absolute loved it and would ask him every day to make it again. My mum would slave away over the stove everyday and we took that for granted think it made her a little jealous but it was just the novelty of having dad at home and mum at work, any way I’ve turned this recipe into a Mexican style one by adding a bit of chilli and cumin and kidney beans to the base sauce. You can change this recipe by adding omitting the spices and kidney beans and adding basil and chilli and using mozzarella on the potatoes or use diced chicken breasts and chorizo instead of mince beef to have a Spanish themed hotpot. The left over’s are yummy in tacos with crispy iceberg lettuce and sour cream or on top of bake potatoes. This will freeze perfectly.
