Mini Mexican

Hola mis amigos! I have a tasty blog post for you today, I swear my blog and social media feeds are just focused on food at the moment but as its one of my favourite things, I don’t care.

So you may already know my love for Mexican food and Old El Paso to assist making tasty yet easy to make Mexican recipes, you can see my Cino de Mayo feast. Anyway last week Old El Paso launched a brand new product and it’s a mini version of the tasty Stand‘N’ Stuff tortillas and a whole-wheat version of the larger ones. To launch them in style Old El Paso set up a mini cantina, pop-up restaurant on Southbank so you may have spotted a bright yellow and pink hut.

When I arrived I had not seen the advert yet so was not sure what to expect and it was so cute, when we walked in I was greeted by mini Danny Trejo (the advert which had me in hysterics BTW is all about Danny Trejo and his mini me.) Inside the hut was an Instagram dream in all bright colours and all the furniture was small keeping in with the mini theme including the staff, who were adorable telling us their back stories of how they were 92 with loads of kids which was a bit of a giggle.

We drank non-alcoholic cocktails and of course ate miniStand ‘N’ Stuff tortillas which are just as tasty as the original with Old El Paso Guacamole, Sour Cream and Salsa and topped it with cheese from a mini cheese grater with chicken and beef - these were super tasty and having mini ones are great there is no mess and I am already thinking these would be such fun bite-sized canapés or for kids to make themselves as you can make a few different ones with new flavours.

After the truly tasty meal we ventured outside to listen to the mini mariachi band and dance around with Mexican inspired props for some fun Instagram pics and a good old boomerang.

This post is in collaboration with Old El Paso but all opinions and love of Mexican food is all ME.
