Easy One Pan Tex Mex Style Minced Beef

[@Mrsmuffin1958]

I've made this twice, just for me, so I've reduced the spices a lot. It's delicious, and freezes well for a ready meal. I'm American and an aficionado of Mexican and Tex-Mex food. I worked amongst Tex Mex people for 12 years and ate at their tables, and I can tell you with personal experience that Mexican food is much milder in the US. British Tex Mex is too hot, and though the Mexican natives love their 'pepino' which is Jalapeños, they tend to have it on the side of the plate. This dish is easy to adapt and makes it easy to have that flavour homemade. 😊

I used sweetcorn instead of beans (everyone hates beans in our house) and this dish was an absolute winner! My husband is walking around showing everyone his "food baby" and has eaten about 4 or 5 helpings. It's all gone! Even my fussy kids liked it. It goes well over baked potatoes too. This is definitely going on our regular recipe rotation.

[@Vulpes10]

Good idea with the sweetcorn, thanks.

[@HenryJinxton]

This looks like dinner tonight! Thanks! You never let us down. 😌 I will have to replace passata with canned tomatoes, and am also curious if you have your own fajita seasoning or a preferred pre-made one that you purchase. They vary greatly by region here so I usually make a standard one for actual fajitas that I shall use.

[@ChrisJones-bp7ij]

Made this tonight had it in a seeded wrap with tomatoes and sour cream dip. Really tasty. Think i will put in 3 tablespoons of hot pepper sauce next time and make it a bit spicer. As i will definitely be making it again. So nice.

[@susanshinton1679]

Made this, absolutely lovely. I had your video playing and cooked along with you. Thank you x

[@paulwhite5886]

I'm hungry now 😐

[@fv1291]

Toss in some corn, and serve with tortilla chips!

[@jeanineskitchen2607]

Just received my Book Today, It's All About Dinner!! It is wonderful, can't wait to make these dishes. This dish looks great We love tacos in my home and I make my very own taco seasoning, because I watch my salt intake. Can't wait to get the next book, Quick And Easy. 😊

[@MaloneysDigest]

Thanks for this! I needed a fast recipe on a Saturday night for the family 👍

[@cscates3598]

As a Texan, I approve of this dish.

[@silverskater558]

I’m probably going to use this as a base for shakshuka breakfast this looks delicious 🤤

[@HenryJinxton]

We did that with the leftovers and it was superb.

[@tanyaownsworth7303]

Great idea!

[@DownButNotOutYet]

Good morning Nicky, now that is soul food, it looks wonderful delicious. Going to make this for a lovely change. Thank you for showing and sharing, I want to see that Cajun Chicken as well, as chicken is usually so bland you need to spice it up. Do enjoy a beautiful day and carry on cooking. Kind regards.

[@Kitchensanctuary]

You are so welcome

[@ed9352]

Looks absolutely delicious 😋 definitely going to make it 👍😋

[@iloveanimals1662]

I would sprinkle also some fresh coriander ,a large squeeze of lime and a dollop of sour cream 👌🏻🤩

[@jessicawalsh1596]

Cooked this tonight and I have to say it was amazing. This is my 4th dish of yours I have cooked and each one has been fantastic! Thanks x

[@misterhat5823]

If you start the pan from cold, you don't need the oil.

[@fabulousrobert6607]

Tacos 🌮 burritos 🌯 sandwich rolls 🥖 is what I’m talking about. Makes a great meal on the go! Gotta love it 😊 👌🏼

[@m.k.anwarrangkuti1259]

the only thing i regret was adding salt. I didn't know bullion packs a lot of sodium.. This was a fine dish. I'm very much obliged to you for sharing this.

[@katie3901]

I will enjoy with nacho chips thank you!!

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

It looks wonderful! Thank you for the video

[@Kitchensanctuary]

Thanks for watching!

[@Adam-kq2gf]

Now that is what I’m talking about !!! 😋 and the chilli doesn’t look too bad either ❤️

[@chiccabay9911]

That looks delicious.Thank you.

[@JohnMcMahon.]

Damn, I just made Spag Bol. Wish I’d have waited and made this.. Another Vid saved to my food playlist 😉 Thanks Nicky 👊

[@bradpeck1901]

British interpretation of Tex Mex for sure. However, it was delicious and I will definitely make it again. Love your videos.

[@ancaichim7272]

Super easy and super good 👌

[@Kitchensanctuary]

Glad you liked it

[@niyaabraham3743]

Delicious! Could you give details on your pan.

[@Karma-qt4ji]

just made this. Holy Cow that is good!!!! Would expect nothing less from you 😋😋

[@MaxwellBXC]

Which fajita seasoning mix did you use by the way? There are loads out there that aren’t the best.

[@Dingo1975]

Absolutly perfekt Super😊 Tanks four Inspiration

Oh yummy. Thanks Nicky. Going to try this one for sure

[@plhwilliams]

What brand of fry pan are you using?

[@Mrsmuffin1958]

P,S, the sweet corn sounds like a great add. Is there a printable recipe?

[@withoutorigin]

I’ve purchased both cookbooks but having trouble finding this. Which one is it in please, I like to follow the recipe on paper

[@deancorrigan1548]

Looks great il give it a go.. You are a quality Chef.

[@sandrahudziec723]

Yummy kind of looks like chili😊

[@Kitchensanctuary]

Thank you 😋

[@MASAKTEROOS]

wow, This is a delicious minced beef recipe

[@Kitchensanctuary]

Thank you so much

[@Breeanna73]

For those of us from Australia and New Zealand watching. We call bell peppers. capsicums 🫑

[@Dormiens_Custodibus]

You’re hilarious, Muriel

[@4p853]

Yum

[@3george136]

I always wonder why tomato puree as well as passata is needed in these type of recipes ?

[@danielramsey5813]

Dont drain mince?

[@misterhat5823]

It's kind of optional for 10-15% fat. That 27% fat stuff we have over here just swims in grease.

[@jakethesnake95]

Yeah, if your beef is really high-fat, you're better off draining it. My mom always taught me to reserve the fat in a bowl and let it solidify overnight so you can throw it away.

[@victorbitter583]

@@jakethesnake95 Don't throw it away. Fry some eggs in it. You won't be disappointed.

[@jakethesnake95]

@@victorbitter583 I'll have to try that. Sounds delicious 😋

[@plbbedding]

Amazing with nachos and a movie

[@majash2695]

😋😋😋

Looking good enough to eat Nicky😀

[@chriswright4677]

Changee sauce?

[@CUBETechie]

Can u use chicken?

[@Noursbear]

Tomorrow's choice

[@Noursbear]

Made this tonight, it was absolutely fabulous, it was a lot for two, I served it with Nachos as we thought rice may be too much. I have made a couple of recipes from you this year I think, always great stuff. Thanks

[@fv1291]

We call it hambuger, not minced beef. 😉

[@jakethesnake95]

Speak for yourself. I call it ground beef.

[@HenryJinxton]

Interesting. I live in Pennsylvania, USA and we call it ground beef and usually index it beyond that, such as saying I would like ground sirloin, ground round, ground chuck, etc. The only people I know calling raw ground beef "hamburger" are from the silent generation and older where I live. 🤔

[@kentonbrown937]

I grew up in the Arizona-Sonora desert and this recipe deserves ridicule. Bell pepper? What makes this Mexican? Tex-Mex fajita seasoning? Generic hot sauce? Inappropriate black beans? Italian passata? A frivolous garnish of cheese, avocado, & cilantro? I don't doubt that this concoction tastes good, but, please, don't label it as "Mexican!"

[@3george136]

Mexican Style - not Mexican authentic

[@milkshake3350]

It's just basic, easy, fast, flavourful food which suits some people. Not everything has to be authentic.

[@execbum1]

She didn't say it was Mexican. She has clearly labelled it 'Tex-Mex Style' which means not authentic Texan or Mexican but just vaguely in the Tex-Mex style. Why does there always have to be one idiot? If you don't like it, move on!

[@djmelton4578]

Sorry, this is very far from Texan food, Mexican food, or Tex-Mex food. All three of those cuisine styles serve as umbrellas for many local styles, but never anything like this. Over-tomatoey, over-spiced, no delicate interplay of flavors, and highly likely to cause severe heartburn. I bet she also loads her Mexican rice with chili powder and maybe even chiles instead of using garlic, onion, and tomato. Come to Texas or Mexico and try the real thing.

[@aboukirman3508]

The real thing would give us Brits the shits.

[@execbum1]

Yeah, travel to another continent so that our kids don't get inauthentic dinners. Great advice there. smh 🙄 We don't care whether it's authentic, we just want easy, tasty recipes we can make quickly on a weeknight, that our children will eat and that only need ingredients we can easily get here in the UK.

[@aboukirman3508]

@@execbum1 Yes, travel to Mexico and probably get murdered while trying out the authentic grub!!!😁
