Best sides for your Mexican feast

We all love a feast and it’s not a feast unless there are plenty of tasty side dishes that elevate your key meals. We’ve gathered all our favourite sides to sit along side a Mexican feast – think tacos, tortillas, enchiladas and rich pulled nachos.

Caprese Salad

Swap the basil for oregano and you've got a more Mexi style side that goes so well lamb tacos and beef nachos. Make sure the tomatoes are room temperature before you start, it makes a huge difference!

Easy Avocado Salsa

The king of all Mexican sides, this Avocado salsa is full of fresh flavours and is the perfect accompaniment to tacos, nachos or on its own as a tasty dip.

Colourful Cabbage Slaw

This is such a vibrant salad and it’s full of fresh delicious flavours! Offering a ton of texture and flavour, it goes beautifully as the salad part of taco fillings.

Spiced Buttery Sweetcorn

It isn't a Mexican feast if there isn't sweetcorn. Spiced, buttery - this beauty of a dish is from Food Legend, Peter Gordon. Note: make lots of the butter and freeze it in logs for easy future use.

Mandarin and Kiwifruit Salsa

Perfect for a dose of vitamin C in the depths of winter, we love this next to Pulled Beef Nachos for a punchy balance to the rich beefy goodness.

Roast Potatoes with Chilli, Lime and Herbs

Take the humble little spud and turn it into a hero of a dish with a sprinkle of chilli, fresh lime and loads of herbs. A great way to round out a feast!

Cauliflower Tabbouleh

Take the simple cauliflower and transform it into a riced, zesty, delicious version of it's self. This is a great base of Mexican bowls topped with Mexi-mince, or in filled burritos.
