    Cook's tips

    Fill leftover taco shells with a chicken Caesar salad as an alternative to a bread sandwich. Or crush the shells and scatter over thick soup.

    Drinks recommendation

    Mexican-style food is perfect with a crisp, refreshing lager. Try this, it’s remarkably rich in flavour, too: Pilsner Urquell.
