This is the perfect weekday meal with all the right Mexican flavours. It’s super fast to put together and will soon become one of your favourites. I like to serve this with some cooked quinoa and steamed vegetables. You can adjust the amount of chili according to your taste, ½ tsp creates a mild amount of heat.
