\"tex-mex\"Chilli, nachos and fajitas are all delicious meals that people equate with Mexican food but actually, these dishes are what is considered Tex-Mex cuisine. The dishes are a mix of Mexican food concepts blended with ingredients more readily available in the States. People often confuse the two but what really sets them apart is the heavy use of cheese, and to be honest, we aren\u2019t complaining. We\u2019ll take a bowl of Tex-Mex chilli topped with delicious cheese and crunchy tacos over anything, especially during winter and we made that happen with Willow Creek.<\/p>\n

\"Willow-Creek-Tex-Mex-Chilli\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We get cooking with Willow Creek olive oils<\/a> to make this wonderfully hearty Tex-Mex chilli soup, to give you those colourful Tex-Mex flavours that are so sought after. In this recipe we used Willow Creek\u2019s Jalape\u00f1o Flavoured Olive Oil and their Garlic Flavoured Olive Oil and we got to tell you, it really gives it that extra kick this chilli needs.<\/p>\n

GET TO KNOW WILLOW CREEK FLAVOURED OILS<\/h4>\n

Willow Creek\u2019s award-winning olive oil range sets the standard for quality, so it\u2019s no surprise that their jalape\u00f1o flavoured and their garlic flavoured olive oils are wonderfully flavourful. Willow Creek\u2019s Jalape\u00f1o Flavoured Olive Oil is an ode to the spiciness and smokiness that comes with jalape\u00f1o chilli peppers.<\/p>\n

Infused with jalape\u00f1os this olive oil pairs perfectly with most dishes, and promises to give that extra \u2018oomph\u2019 some dishes need. Paired with the pungent garlic promises a dish that is not only flavourful but also packed with all the goodness extra virgin olive oil has to offer. It certainly upgraded this Tex-Mex chilli and took it to a whole other level.<\/p>\n
