Our opening game: Mexican dish with South African wine

This weekend the Mexicans will take on South Africa in the opening game of the Soccer World Cup. I think it will be great to make something Mexican this weekend.

This recipe is so easy and delicious and your guests may even do a Mexican wave after this lovely meal

Recommended wine: To make it a South Africa and Mexican affair the Arniston Bay Pinotage will be the perfect South African representative.
