  1. This was DEEEEELICIOUS!!! Hubby and i loved it…served in homemade pita breads chocked full of salad, hubby gave it a 9.72 score out of 10 haha
    GREAT RECIPE which will be a definate regular 😀

  2. I made this today and it was wonderful. I have heaps of leftover sauce for another time and hubby even went back for seconds.

  3. Sorry full of typos – meant to read do you put the foil on top of the meat sitting on top of the meat or across top of the pot just under the lid?

  4. Re the foil – what is it there for ? And do you put it right to n top of the meat or across the top of the t

  5. This was so simple and delicious! Had it in wraps with homemade salsa for dinner the other day, I had it served on baby spinach and sweet potato chips as nachos tonight and have frozen some which I intend on using for enchilada filling soon!
    Will be a regular here!

  6. My hubby is an ex-chef. He said this was the best he’d ever tasted. It was better than the one in restaurants. He said we’re never have Mexican take-away ever again!

  7. Made this for Fathers Day dinner tonight, it was amazing! We love Mexican food and this in tortilla’s and tacos was ideal! Thanks for another brilliant recipe!

  8. The smell of this cooking when you get home is sensational!!
    I prepare this in bulk to the cooking stage and then freeze. That way I can get the pack out of the freezer the night before or even in the morning chick it in the slow cooker and it’s ready and waiting when we get home. Yum!!

    1. so do you do everything until ready to be cooked in slow cooker in batches and then use as needed.

      I might do this too. Does 1 lot make enough for 2 meals or just 1 we are a family of 5?

  9. Absolutely sensational meal. Even the teenage kids loved it as well! Sour cream was a great way to top it off with nacho toppings. Yummo!

  10. Made this tonight, was delicious. Used the slow cooker while I was at work. Could be used in so many dishes. Thanks Nik x

  11. Another delicious recipe. Served with homemade tortillas, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, jalapenos, cheese, salsa and avocado.
    Was spicy, but not too spicy for hubby and I. Marinated for about 5 hours which was enough.

  12. Just made this the other night.. I made with topside though as it was what i had in the fridge and it is amazing! I have made up little packs and put in the freezer and it defrosts and reheats really well. Thanks for another fab recipe! x

  13. I made this yesterday, the house smelt absolutely beautiful as it slow cooked. My kids had it with nachos and I served mine on a bed of lettuce – sooo sooo delicious! Thank you Nik for your fantastic recipe, another one that’s going to be a regular for my family 🙂

  14. Hi Nik. I look forward to making this. I am wondering /checking, do we marinade meat in or out of the fridge? I’m guessing in the fridge, esp if over an hour.
