Winter Recipes
All of our Mexican winter recipes have one thing in common; every one of them is a hot dish designed to enjoy on cold winter days and nights! A beef stew on the hob in the form of our easy chilli con carne, a super easy Mexican chicken casserole, and a classic Mexican chicken soup are our favourite comfort food recipes, as seen below. The chilli and soup are great Mexican winter dishes to try after work on a weekday with the chicken stew best left to a weekend when you have more time to really let it slow cook.
Everything you need to make delicious Mexican winter recipes at home
Creating warming Mexican winter recipes at home couldn’t be easier with Gran Luchito!
First of all you will need some of our signature Chipotle Paste. This is our secret weapon which we add to many of our easy winter dishes. It creates the smoky depth of flavour that we love so much and makes any dish Mexican.
Always having some of our black Cantina Beans in your cupboard means you can quickly add more flavour and texture to your soups and stews, and of course chilli.
Don’t forget some Lightly Salted Tortilla Chips to have on the side, for dunking into your healthy winter recipes or enjoying alongside them. Some Soft Taco Wraps would also be needed if you’re making enchiladas.

How about cooking up a big batch of one of our delicious Mexican stew recipes for winter? Cowboy Beans is a hearty, bold and comforting one to try if you like chorizo and bacon. Alternatively add any meat you have such as sausage, pork or beef. You’ll need our Chipotle Paste and black Cantina Beans for this recipe.
A classic chicken stew, Luchito style, is always a winner! Our Mexican Chicken Stew is slow cooked over a few hours so that the meat falls apart, and the big Mexican flavours come out. It’s also super easy to put together in your lunch break and can then cook during the afternoon, so it’s ready in time for dinner.
Or if you are after something meat-free that is super satisfying and comforting then our spicy Vegan Mexican Stew is the best one to try. With potatoes, peppers, mushrooms, chickpeas, chopped tomatoes and loads more, it’s colourful and heart warming. Feel free to add any veggies you have in your fridge for this one.
