I try and make my girls eat something new each week, or something a bit different.

I've said I'm going to make pork mince tacos.  I have some spice mix left over from the last time I made them as we can't handle too much spice, but I usually use chicken breast or beef mince.

Will it taste okay using pork mince?  And is there anything I can use to make it a bit more saucy as I remember thinking it was a bit dry with just spice mix in there?

Planning on serving it with taco chips (or tortillas or pittas which are in the freezer) and whatever salad I can find in the house.

    I don't see a problem with using pork mince.  What about adding guacamole, salsa or something like a garlic dip to make it more moist

  • That's a good point.  I think I have garlic mayo in the fridge.  I can put that on the side.  

    Like the idea of guacamole.  Might have a look to see if I have in the house what it takes to make it.

  • I usually use Turkey mince nowadays, no matter what it is, be it lasagne, bolognese , or even a keema curry

    The meat, will take the flavourings no problem
