6. Smoky Chilli Dogs

First up for our leftover chilli con carne recipes is this one. What bread to serve with chilli con carne? How about a bun! Chilli dogs are a classic American dish that we knew would work really well, given the Gran Luchito treatment. We used our Chipotle Paste to make a rich and smoky chilli con carne, and spooned it onto meaty good quality sausages in a bun, topped with grated cheddar, diced onion, coriander and Serrano Green Chillies. One for the meat-lovers for sure!

Stuffed roasted butternut squash. Cut the squash in half lengthways, scoop out seeds. Drizzle with olive oil and crush a couple of cloves of garlic into it. Roast until cooked. Remove from the oven and laddle in the left over chilli, grate some cheddar cheese over the top. Pop back into the oven for 10-15 minutes until the chilli is pipping hot and the cheese is melted. Serve complete squash with salad of your choice.

A cheesy potato is the way I’d eat left over chilli too! Totally delicious with sour cream on top too.

I would use it as the base for a spicy cottage pie, making sure you fork the top for extra crispy bits. Britain and Mexico working together in perfect culinary harmony!

These all look so yummy! One of my faves for chilli is taco salad. Culli on a bed of lettuce, topped with old cheddar, red onion slices, tomato bits and sour cream with tortilla chips and salsa on the side 😋
