When it comes to dishes that please everyone, every time, Chilli Con Carne is right at the top of my list. Whether you’re feeding the family, entertaining friends, or cooking for guests in your Airbnb, this hearty recipe is a guaranteed hit — any season, any reason.
Mexican — Your Way 🇲🇽
You can serve it your way:
With rice for a simple midweek dinner,
In soft or hard tacos for a crowd, or
Loaded up as nachos for the ultimate weekend feast.
Served with everything — and everyone can choose their own favourite way to enjoy it. 🌶️
My Twist on a Classic
While the traditional Thermomix® recipe uses mince, I love using oyster blade beef steak instead. It gives a deeper flavour and a slow-cooked texture that melts in your mouth.
👉 Just increase the cooking time to 1 hour, 100°C, reverse — and let your TM7 do the rest.
For an easy shortcut, I often use Mingle’s Mexican Recipe Bases.
They’re preservative-free, naturally spiced and come in a range of flavours so you can switch it up week to week.
This recipe is perfect for cooking in bulk, and because it’s so simple, everyone in the family can cook it — even the kids. It’s also a winner for
Airbnb hosts who want to leave a home-cooked meal ready for guests or share an easy dinner idea in their welcome guide.
