I’m one of these really annoying Plain Jane’s when it comes to my food, honestly, I am terrible I can’t eat anything with pepper or spice without it burning the inside of my mouth. Over time Mr Boo has come to accept my food ‘quirks’ so rarely asks for me to take a bite of something new he is trying as he knows that it is really not my cup of tea.
The Boo Roo and Tigger Too household were recently sent an Old El Paso hamper full of goodies, which as first glance I knew that Mr Boo would be very happy as he loves their fajitas. Whilst I knew that he would be happy I did feel a tinge of sadness that we wouldn’t be able to enjoy the hamper as a family, that was until I saw their new Extra Mild Super-Tasty One Pan Rice Meal for chicken.

I absolutely love their fajita making kit. I’ve never really tried anything else though. Hmm maybe I should!
I like their burritos and fajitas.
I might have to give this recipe a try. Sounds yummy
Love the fajita kits, will definitely be looking for the rice
Ooo perfect festival food! *makes a mental note*
Mexican food is my OH’s absolute favourite. He always said that if he was on death row (lets hope he never is) that Mexican food would be his last supper!
Unfortunately for me, he likes it the spicer the better!
YUM! I am only eating proteins at the moment and is damn hard to look at your dish. So yummy looking!
Come and link up with my FridayFoodie linky today 🙂 http://www.romanianmum.com/2014/05/friday-foodie-round-up-fish-dishes.html#.U3XRXF5wylI
I am loving the festival food idea above, will be keeping an eye out for this when I am home next! 🙂
What a fantastic dish, it looks delicious. I love everything in one pot, it saves so much on clearing up afterwards.
I really like their kits, they make a mid week meal a lot of fun.
I’ve not seen this one-pan kit before though but it sounds delicious.
Ooooh we tried these! I loved them!
That looks really tasty. I like Old El Paso for their Mexican food – it makes it so easy.
I am loving this idea, as a weekend quick tea! Mmm extra chilli for me!
One pot cooking is absolutely my kind of cooking! And it it’s Mexican then all the better 🙂 Great recipe, thanks for posting x
We love El Paso, we often have Mexican nights and stuff our faces with lots of lovely food
You could also use quorn pieces and they would be fabulous in this dish
It’s impossible to actually burn the inside of your mouth, no matter how hot a dish you eat. The capsaicin in the chillies just triggers off the heat receptors in your mouth making you think you’re eating something hot.
As a family we love Mexican food but have never tried Old El Paso, maybe we need to check them out
