Mild Mexican chili with homemade tortilla chips
Welcome to our kids in the Kitchen class on Tuesday 1st August.
Our Kids in the Kitchen This week are making Mild Mexican chili with homemade tortilla chips.
Making chili con carne With children can sometimes be a bit tricky to get right. You don’t want it to be too spicy, but you don’t want it too bland either. This chili is really robust and full of flavour, it’s got just enough heat without the kids gasping for water. (fingers crossed)
If its a little too mild for the Adult’s just add a few drops tabasco when serving.
Remember to take a photo and send it to us! we love to share your cooking creations
