BeefFAQs
Please see our frequently asked questions! We get loads on how to make our recipes and use our products. If you want to learn more about making Mexican dishes at home, be sure to check out the Gran Luchito YouTube channel for lots more recipe inspiration, how-to’s and more.
Beef is made Mexican by the way it’s cooked and presented. Traditional herbs and spices are used, red peppers, tomatoes, onion, quite often chillies, a bit of smoky heat. It’s then grilled, fried or slow cooked and presented with rice, or in soft flour or hard corn tortillas.
For examples of how to make ground beef, check out our recipes for Easy Chilli Con Carne or our Beef Picadillo recipe.
For the best Mexican beef taco recipes, see our recipes for Carne Asada Tacos, Vampiro Taco, Beef Tacos, Crunchy Beef Tacos, Birria Tacos, and Breakfast Tacos with Carne Asada.
The best way to season beef and make it Mexican is using Gran Luchito products, of course! Our Chipotle Paste is the best place to start. Alternatively one of our Fajita and Taco Mix’s or one of our red simmer sauces.
You can make any number of burritos, tacos, quesadillas, fajitas, nachos or enchiladas. You can also make a mean chilli con carne, or our beef picadillo recipe is a classic Mexican dish for the family to enjoy.
