I had a plethora of gorgeous street food at Wahaca, one of my favourite restaurants on friday night. I just couldn't help but share these scrummy snaps! Plantain Tacos with a spicy sauce, Black Bean Tostadas, Chicken Taquitos and Churros!
Founder of Wahaca, Thomasina Miers, has a fab recipe book that makes it seem easy-as-pie to recreate her restaurant experience in the comfort of your own home. It's got a great guac recipe and a steak fajita, and i love that she infuses these basic Mexican classics with some less than normal ideas like Frijoles refritos (a must addition to most meals in South America).
I did once try to make tortillas as Thomasina claims to have created 'a blissfully easy recipe.' I ended up with a mess of sludgy pancake mix, and nothing that could hold together meat and salsa. The masa harina and fine cornmeal were exceptionally hard to find, and although i found them in a specialist store, they made no difference to the disastrous end product.
A good way of classying up a fajita night, these recipes probably won't replace wahaca for an amazing Mexican meal- but that's probably what Thomasina intended!
