TERRIFIC MP! What a GREAT combo! I used turkey and chicken mince, with the chorizo chopped finely, rather than minced - it was getting caught in my mixer blades!! I served this with Taco Baskets - that's all I had to hand, and Malcolm and I had THREE each for lunch!! A wonderful recipe for an alternative taco filling - VERY much enjoyed! Made for the Aussie Swap - SUBLIME my dear! FT:-) NB: I used grated gruyere cheese, my Cheddar had disappeared after I went to bed??! (I KNOW who had it!!)Reply
