Are you after an easy weeknight dinner that's packed with flavour!? Then our Thermomix Mexican Beef Bowls are exactly what you need. Shredded Mexican beef with a deliciously healthy salad... and of course, a good dollop of sour cream (and some sneaky corn chips on the side!).
This is definitely one quick and easy dinner - which makes it perfect for us busy mummas (and dads!). You can cook the meat ahead of time and keep it warm in the ThermoServer. Then it's just a matter of letting everyone in the family mix and match with their favourite salad ingredients.
I like to serve these Thermomix Mexican Beef Bowls with sour cream and corn chips... because YUM!!! This is definitely a family favourite in our house!

What do you do with the other half of the liquid stock??
Lucy says
You can discard the half you have drained. 🙂
Karen says
Hi, just wondering if I can double the recipe please? I have a large family dinner and will need plenty
Tash says
Hi Karen, depending on the model of Thermo cooker you have, you should be able to double the recipe as long as the ingredients do not fill the jug past the "MAX" line marked on it. There are recipes on Cookidoo that use 1000g of meat but they don't have as much liquid, so just keep an eye on the capacity indicator and if in doubt, check the instruction manual for any limits detailed for your machine. 🙂
Tamara says
Can you use beef mince instead?
Danielle Murray says
My meat turned out super super wet and sloppy even with a bit more than half of the stock taken out. Can't work out what I did wrong! (*could be my preggo brain*). Still really tasty though.
Linda Laming says
This is absolutely so delish!!! I'm not even sure if I want to share this with the family!! ?
Lucy Mathieson says
Yay!!!!
Linda Laming says
It's beginning to be a weekly favourite now!!
If I doubled the meat, how much longer do you think I should cook it for?
Amy says
If using a liquid store bought beef stock how much should I use?
Thanks
Lucy Mathieson says
Hi Amy, exactly the same amount - 500g 🙂 xx
Lou says
This has very quickly become a regular favourite in our family! I love how tender the meat is and to serve it like this is such a fresh and healthy alternative!!
Kiara says
Really want to make this as I have had it at a friends house and it is absolutely delicious. But unfortunately I don’t have a thermomix 🙁 was wondering if anyone could help as to how I would make it without one. Thanks In advance 🙂
Pamela says
Love this easy recipe. Having guests so just wondered if I could you double the recipe? I have a TM5. Thanks.
Audrey Griffiths says
Does this freeze well?
Lucy Mathieson says
Yes you can freeze the meat once it's cooked 🙂
Melissa says
Thank you this was great...and it was easy to adapt to a single serving for just me!
Lucy Mathieson says
Fantastic!! We're so glad you liked it!
Anna says
I made this earlier this week. It was SO simple and SO delicious!
I made it at lunchtime and was out for after school activities so once the 25 minutes was up transferred to me slow cooker, threw in the oven on low and when we returned home hours later I simply pushed on it al with my masher.
It was delicious! Thank you
Lucy says
Woo hoo!! Thanks for the lovely feedback! xx
Kate says
This is beautiful and tender. Such a convenient and quick way to cook the meat. I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I tossed the meat in Moroccan spices. I will definitely be making this again.
Lauren Matheson says
That's great Kate, so glad you enjoyed it x
