A South African favourite meets mouth-watering flavours of Mexico! It starts with a generous serving of biltong con carne, featuring tangy tomato, rich kidney beans, and charred corn. Dollop over some sour cream, add some freshness with picked coriander, and serve with a side of pan roasted baguettes for scooping up the goodness.
