It’s cold. You know where it’s not cold? Mexico. Let’s pretend we’re there. Close your eyes for a moment. Imagine the feeling of sand between your toes. Imagine the background noises of the United States attempting to overthrow yet another Southern democracy. Perfect. That’s the stuff. Serve with a marg x
500g chicken breast or Quorn

These mexi-flavoured build-a-bowls are a great dinner option. To prepare the chicken it needs to be cut into small chunks, cooked in oil, and then combined with a can of diced tomatoes and a drizzle of sweet chilli. Cook this on medium heat until the canned tomatoes become less watery and you're good to go - it’s really that easy.
Now it's just about adding some other fillings to get a bowl together. World's your oyster. Canned corn and edamame are great cheaper options but make sure to get a grain of sorts to get those carbs in.
