Try This For Tea Tonight!!

Advantages: Easy To Prepare And Cook, Tastes Great
Disadvantages: Can Get A Little Messy

...but if you buy an Old El Paso Fajita kit, then they are an extremely easy meal to make, especially if you have people coming round, it is as easy to make these for, say, ten people as it is to make them for just two. Packaging The Old El Paso Fajita kit is easily recognisable, as it is in a box apporximately 10" square and is decorated in their trade mark yellow background with a row of red Spanish style, roof tiles across the top. 'Old El ...
...down to the cook. The Old El PAso kit simply has the tortillas, the salsa and the spice mix with it. The spice mix becomes the main flavour of the dish really and it is a sort of paprika peppery taste, and is fairly spicy, if that makes any sense!! Anyway it is very nice and like I said one of my favourite dishes. You can alter the flavour in many different ways, by adding different veg, more or less spice mix, even more or less salt and pepper, ...

Quick and Easy Enchiladas!

Advantages: Tastes nice, quick and easy to make, kit supplies all the basics
Disadvantages: Not very healthy!

...in the parcel was an Old El Paso Enchilada Dinner Kit. I have used these kits before and really like them, so I was pretty pleased! The kit comes in a square, yellow, cardboard box with 'Old El Paso' written in large red letters on the front, then 'Original Enchiladas' written underneath that, and a large picture of some yummy enchiladas cooked and ready to eat. Inside the pack is eight soft corn tortillas, enchilada spice mix and tomato sauce (which ...
...of the box it states that all you need to make the kit is 500g of chicken breast and 150g of cheese. Although it says to use chicken breast, I find the kit to be really versatile. When I made it a couple of nights ago I substituted the chicken for mince and mushrooms and it tasted absolutely wonderful! The kit is very easy to make and the instructions are clearly marked on the back of the pack (I won't bore you with all the steps!) It took me around ...

Taco's in under 20 minutes! Freshly made

Advantages: Really tasty
Disadvantages: Doesn't include the minced beef or cheese

...week I went and bought Old El Paso Taco Dinner Kit. I really like Taco's as they give a bit of flavour and a nice change to your normal diet. I don't like to buy the ready made ones as they seem to taste pretty bad, like they've lost their flavour whilst they've been waiting to be bought. So I like to make me own, this can take a while to find all the ingredients and make sure that I have enough of them all. So when I came across this kit in Tesco's ...
...quality because it was an Old El Paso brand; I really like most of the things they make and have never had a problem with them. The kit comes in a big yellow box with Old El Paso logo on it and Original Taco's written in big writing on the front and a picture of some very tasty looking Taco's in the bottom left hand corner. On the back there is a list of all the nutritional information and instructions on how to make the food. Inside the packet ...

Hey Gringo - Dis is the best Mexican kit

Advantages: Great tasting, great quality - better than fajitas
Disadvantages: Expensive, the spice mix can't be bought separately

...same price as all other Old El Paso dinner kits, which is to be expected since they all contain much the same items, i.e. 8 tortillas, a sachet of salsa and the special spice mix. ****Making the burritos**** Burritos are usually made with minced beef and any quality can be used. Burritos do not have to be made with the finest and leanest minced beef since you are highly unlikely to notice once the tasty spice mix has been added. An alternative ...
...only comliments theflavour of the spice mix, but they do not ‘wrap’ as well. I don’t think that they are as authentic as beef burritos either, but then I guess it is down to personal preference. Vegetarians can also enjoy the taste of burritos by using sliced vegetables (the consumers choice) and a can of drained pinto beans. Making the burritos is very quick and easy and the steps to make minced beef burritos (serving 4 persons) are as follows: ...

El paso up this kit

Advantages: Easy to have two products placed in one piece of packaging
Disadvantages: Very poor for money. And with the large box container and internal packaging, not very green

...consider the amount in the Old El Paso Nacho kit. With my alternative you're getting double the amount for slightly less money. Lets not forget the taste. In my humble opinion ten times better!! My serving suggestions. Cook in the oven. Layer a pan with tortilla chips, finely chopped Mexican seasoned chicken and cheese ( and if adventurous top with Jalepeno slices ) cook in the oven until desired. Serve with sour Cream, The salsa and if possible ...
