Tortilla-riffic Mexican recipes and resources

We couldn’t be more excited to kick off 2022 than with vibrant, seasonal, juicy - and sometimes spicy - Mexican feasts!

From 9 March until 5 April, Coles will donate 20c from Old El Paso Taco or Tortilla packs (excludes Kits), and 5c from every 200g or 350g punnet of red or gold Perino Tomatoes sold, to the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation (up to a maximum of $175,000). 

To celebrate all things taco, burrito and tortilla, Stephanie Alexander and Coles Ambassadors and Masterchef alum Courtney Roulston and Brent Draper have whipped up some end of summer recipes:

• Stephanie Alexander’s Huevos Rancheros – a tasty Mexican breakfast on a wheat tortilla which translates to ‘rancher's eggs’
• Courtney Roulston’s Cauliflower Tacos with Roast Tomato Salsa
• Brent Draper's Tomato Mexican Baked Eggs with Corn Ribs.

For members of the Kitchen Garden community, we've created some great resources for classroom use. Learn about the history and many delights of Mexican food and how contemporary farmers can look after 600,000 tomato plants at one time:

• Mexican food facts - learning resource about the flat breads, fillings and exotic herbs that make up Mexican cuisine
• Growing in a commercial glasshouse with Perino tomatoes - learn about some of the benefits of greenhouse growing
• Q&A with Perino Tomato grower - students ask a grower how Perino tomatoes make their way to the table.

For a chance to win an exciting prize pack, get your colouring pencils or markers out to make a fiesta of our fabulous taco feast colouring sheet by 5 April. Check out the Terms & Conditions too.
