Spicy Mexican Beef with Mini Cheese Breads are the perfect complete meal, ideal for all seasons. So quick and easy to make too !

I am sharing two recipes with you today. Serve them together and your dinner is all sorted !

Mexican beef with mini cheese breads are the perfect combination. You can even add some more freshly chopped chilies to the beef to give it an extra kick.

If you have any of the mini cheese breads leftover, consider packing them for a delicious lunch the following day. Serve with or without butter – hot or cold.

This is a very filling meal and I serve no additional sides, vegetable or salad, with the beef and the mini breads. However, feel free to add a crunchy, or even a fruity salad on the side if you so prefer.

As I mentioned before, the mini Cheese Breads are great to pack for the next day’s lunch (that is if you have any leftover).

I only had some leftover once before, as these little breads are so delicious, we normally have two with our Mexican Beef, and finish off any leftover mini breads after dinner.

Not that this is not a filling meal, the Cheese Breads are just sooo delicious ! Like popcorn, once you start you can not stop until it is all gone !

Mini Cheese Breads

Needless to say, I bake up a batch of the Mini Breads at least once every two weeks. If it is not myself craving them, my hubby or one of the kids will request them. Usually to take to lunch, but we also enjoy the breads with our Saturday brunch.

And I just about always bake these when we have a barbeque. I prefer little breads, packed with Cheese and Bacon to the usual toasted sarmies we normally serve with barbecued meats in South-Africa.
