Top hacks for making Tom’s Tacos:
1. Reduce your cost per serve on mince by buying bigger packs of meat and bulking it out with lentils or beans
2. Dried lentils over tinned is often cheaper per gram (top tip: batch cook your lentil mince mix so it’s ready to go for lasagne, pies, you name it..)
3. Pack a flavour punch using Colman’s Chilli Con Carne Recipe Mix – no need to buy all the separate seasoning ingredients!
