To help, I've listed a few recipes below, and I'd also recommend taking a look at the food in our Spanish Summer Selection to accompany your meal. There are some recipes HERE that I put together for the Spanish Summer that would work well with the recipse below. In fact, you can simply substitute the black turtle beans in the Summer Salad with Butterbeans and a sprinkle of Dried pasilla Chilli flakes for a great Mexican salad.
I like to add some chorizo to my chilli. Along with slow cooking stewing beef and then shredding it, rather than using mince.
