Slow Cooker Beef Tacos

A fantastic summer slow cooker recipe which you can make into many different meals which is what i did i used 2 portions then used the other 2 portions in a different recipe.

I appreciate you can make the base of this taco recipe in a pan on the hob in about 30 minutes but as you know that’s not my style and especially when the weather in the UK is playing ball and the sun is out. Spending time in the kitchen on warmer days just isn’t something i enjoy doing plus if like me you suffer from Chronic Pain or Fatigue getting dinner sorted at the beginning of the day is the way forward.

There isn’t anything complicated about this recipe other than deciding how much lime you want to add after the beef is cook and how you are going to serve them.

This recipe appears in my new Cookbook My Slow Cooker Meals which is available in paperback and kindle format press the link it will take you to my Amazon Shop then look under Cookbooks https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/julesthelazycook

Orzo Nando’s Chicken Salad

Another fantastic lunch / packed lunch recipe or even a light evening meal this one ticks all the boxes. Remember orzo is just tiny pasta so you can swap it for any pasta you like.

You will see i didn’t use the original Nando’s sauce to marinate the chicken in the sauce i bought was from Home Bargins for a huge bottle and it was 89p (at the time of creating this recipe) and it tasted exactly the same as the original sauce. However use whichever sauce and your family like and enjoy it will still work the same.

For the dressing i used Nando’s Perinaise sauce now this stuff is expensive but i love it and and little goes a long way, but if you don’t want to buy it then use any dressing you like.

I cooked my chicken in the air fryer but if you don’t have an air fryer just cook it in the oven on 185 degrees for approx 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked this will depend on how big the chicken pieces are.

This will keep in the fridge in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
