Veggie, Gluten-free, Nut-free Family-friendly Mexican Fiesta

I’m loving exploring new cuisines. Recently I was a bit stumped for ideas when I was planning a free-from vegetarian family dinner party, but this worked really well:

Nibbles

• Lentil crisps with salsa, sour cream and chive dip
• Chopped fruit and veg
• Corn tortilla chips

Mains

• Gluten-free corn taco shells, heated and served with choice of:
  – creamy guacamole (avocado, lemon, spices)
  – fresh salsa (tomato, onion, lemon, chilli, red capsicum)
  – chopped lettuce
  – grated cheese
  – sweetcorn
  – chopped tomato (plain)
  – sour cream
  – mixed beans (2 x tins) simmered slowly in caramelised onion, with taco spice
  
• Fluffy rice (half-spiced and half plain, for less adventurous kids)

Dessert

• fresh chopped seasonal fruit
• ice cream (check labels for nut-free and gluten-free)
