Mexican Spice Mix

This Mexican inspired spice mix is the perfect way to add a little kick to your cooking. Packed with smoky paprika, warming cumin, zesty coriander, and a touch of cayenne, this blend brings those classic Mexican flavours to your favourite meals.

• Tacos & Burritos – Season beans, tofu, jackfruit, or mince for a tasty filling.
• Nachos & Quesadillas – Sprinkle over beans or veggies before loading up with cheese.
• Roast Veggies – Toss with olive oil and coat your spuds, cauliflower, or chickpeas before baking.
• Salsas & Guacamole – Stir in for an extra flavour boost.
• Mexican Rice – Add a teaspoon while cooking rice for a delicious side.

This versatile, zero-waste spice mix is a must-have in any kitchen. Whether you’re making a quick midweek meal or a feast for friends, it’s an easy way to dial up the flavour.

For a versatile bean mix (perfect for nachos, tacos, or rice bowls), add one tin of organic tomatoes and one tin of drained kidney or turtle beans to a pot. To save money, you can use our dried turtle beans—just soak them overnight before cooking.

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then stir in two tablespoons of Mexican spice mix. Simmer on low heat for 15–20 minutes, or until the beans are tender and the sauce has thickened. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve over rice, on nachos, or as a taco filling. This bean mix pairs well with avocado, cheese, and sour cream.
