The Discovery of a Lifetime: Add Spice to Your Meals!

Stuck for cooking ideas? Low on time? Read on…

So you’re a student. You’re sat there right now with certain things running through your mind. Is one of them food, by any chance? I thought as much. ‘What to cook for dinner?’ Sounds about right. Problem is, you’re hungry. Really hungry. You don’t want to spend a long time cooking, because you want to eat NOW…or at least within 15 minutes or so.

Well, look no further than Discovery. Heard of them? Yes that’s right – The Mexican food. Think about it now – imagine yourself digging into a perfectly seasoned fajita and your hunger just melting away…

But what could you possibly do?

Well, Discovery has a wealth of products available, from wraps and tortillas to sauces, to seasoning mixes and more! The other day, I tried one of their Mexican BBQ fajitas, with mild seasoning, soured cream sauce and jalapeño salsa, and can honestly say it was delicious. Even the chopped jalapeños I also had were a delight (though maybe refrain from popping too many in your mouth in one go!).

It was the sachet of fajita seasoning that really stood out as being the jewel in Discovery’s crown – perfectly balanced spices, in several varieties, that transformed the diced chicken fillets into something magical. Combined then with the condiments, the tightly packed fajitas were both satisfying and filling and yet somehow made me want more on top of that. One tip though – be modest with your packing. The perfect fajita is made with care, and overflowing tortillas can be a nightmare!

But the best part of it all? It’s quick. It’ll only take as long as it takes for your chicken (or similar) to fry, so you don’t have to go wanting! Fast preparation, and dynamite results – what more could you want from a product? Luckily for you, Discovery products are very easy to find in most supermarkets, so what are you waiting for? Not convinced yet? Well, for those of you who might be arriving at Exeter University for the first time in September, there may be a Discovery-based surprise in your welcome packs that may spice up your first few meals at University… But more on that closer to the time.
