I do batches of this basic recipe as it can be used for lots of different Mexican dishes, from Mexican salads to enchiladas or burritos. It also defrosts very quickly for that last minute meal.
When needed defrost, microwave for 3 minutes (or until piping hot) and serve on soft tortilla wraps, with ½ fat crème fraiche, lettuce, tomato and grated cheese.
