Mexican Feast Ingredients Kit Box
The Mexican Feast Ingredients Kit Box is a collection of authentic Mexican pantry staples - three types of dried chilli plus chipotles in adobo, tomatillos, achiote, masa harina and two well-loved Mexican salsa brands - enough to cook three of our favourite Mexican recipes with ingredients to spare. Rather than a handful of pre-mixed spice sachets, this is the real thing: whole dried ancho, guajillo and pasilla chillies, proper nixtamalized corn masa, and tomatillos for a genuine green salsa. We've also included a recipe card for tacos al pastor, so you can get cooking as soon as the box arrives.
There's enough here for at least 30 portions across three recipes - tacos al pastor, chicken tinga tacos and chicken enchiladas - with plenty of chillies and salsa left over for your own cooking. Blend the pasilla and guajillo chillies into a smoky, fruity marinade for tacos al pastor, simmer chicken in chipotle for tinga, or blitz the tomatillos with onion, coriander and green chilli for a proper salsa verde to go alongside. It's built for a proper Mexican feast night, not a single quick dinner.

- Dried pasilla chillies - earthy, medium to low heat with hints of dried fruit, used in moles and marinades
- Chipotle in adobo - smoked jalapeños in a rich adobo sauce, brilliant in stews, marinades, salsas or mixed into mayo
