Chilli Tacos

Kids love these Chilli Con Carne stuffed tacos. Finish with whatever you fancy! Here we’ve served them with an avocado salsa, grated cheese, lettuce, herby yogurt and sweetcorn. We’ve used shop bought Tacos – why would you make your own?! Make a batch of the chilli and freeze the leftovers for another day. Our kids love it with rice.⠀
