    Also added kidney beans like Ellie to bulk it out a little. My boyfriend was dubious when he saw the ingredients (particularly the vinegar) going in, but agreed that it was very tasty, with a lovely depth of flavour.

    A more interesting filling than the usual beef for tacos, a good sweet and sour taste plus a great way to use the cheaper pork mince. Made a tomato salsa to serve along with sour cream and grated cheese. Definitely will use again.

    Lovely. Had these at my sister's when she did a mexican evening and loved them so much I made them the following week. Much better than buying a taco mix, these had a gorgeous sweet and sour flavour which you would think wouldn't work but it absolutely does. Highly recommended

    Makes for some awesome tacos!!! Had to drain a lot of the liquid out in the end to make them as dry as I wanted but I'd rather have these any day than beef tacos seasoned with a sachet! A winner!

    I added some pepper I had in the fridge to use up and these were gorgeous. I thought they would be too runny but it cooked down perfectly. I had them with wholemeal wraps and green salad. Good light supper and a bit of a different use for pork.
