According to data most couples are drawn to French, Italian, and Spanish food!
Go for a lovely batch of freshly made guacamole and chips to start with followed by our Mexican Steak recipe.
Again we'd have to say our Mexican Steak recipe, if they like meat. It's a pretty straightforward dish without the need of many ingredients! Serve it with some of our Crispy Homemade Chips or Mexican Salad recipe.
Cooking for your loved one is more thoughtful, as well as a great way to show off your culinary skills and impress them! It's cheaper, and it won't be cold when you eat it!
