Mexican Hot Pot Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan until hot, tip in the onion and let it sizzle and turn golden (4-5 minutes) as you stir occasionally. Add the mince and cook until it's no longer pink, stirring to break it up and scraping the bottom of the pan so it doesn't stick. If it does, add a splash of oil.
• Tip the tomatoes into the mince, then fill the can with water and pour this in. Add the tomato purée, give it all a good stir and let it come to the boil. Simmer, covered, for 25 minutes to cook the mince through.
• Stir in the rice from both packets and let it heat through gently, then stir in the parsley. Serve with tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Brown meat in hot oil in a dutch oven.
• Add onions and saute until tender.
• Add remaining ingredients and simmer uncovered for 11/2 hours.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large, deep pan, preferably non-stick; add the onion and bacon and sauté for 5 minutes; add the carrot, garlic and red capsicum and sauté for a further 5 minutes.
• Add the kidney beans and the can juices to the pan, stir in the tomatoes, cumin and chilli sauce, and season to taste with salt and black pepper; and bring the mixture to the boil.
