Cooking Steps
1
- Heat in a frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil). Once hot, fry the pork mince, 5-6 mins.
- Break up the mince as it cooks, then drain the fat. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook so there's no pink in the middle.
- Meanwhile, grate the cheese.
2
- Add the Mexican style spice mix, tomato puree, chicken stock paste, sugar and water (see pantry) to the mince.
- Bring to the boil then simmer, 2-3 mins.
3
- Meanwhile, slice the buns down through the middle (but not all the way through).
- In a bowl, combine the slaw, baby leaves and mayo.
- Season with salt and pepper. TIP: Don't add the leaves too early or they'll go soggy!
4
- Transfer the hot dog buns to your plates.
- Fill with the mince and sprinkle over the cheese.
- Serve the baby leaf slaw alongside.
Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The chilli is well-received for its bold, spicy flavour, though some found it needed a little extra seasoning.
- Ease of prep: This is a genuinely quick and easy weeknight dish that comes together with minimal effort.
- Suggestions: Adding diced peppers or onions to the mince adds depth; a side of wedges or chips helps make it a more substantial meal. Extra mayo in the coleslaw helps it coat the veg more evenly, and reducing the spice mix slightly works well for those who prefer a milder heat.
- Portions: Some felt the amount of mince was a little tight for filling all the buns, so consider stretching it with extra veg or serving a side dish alongside.
- Next-day meals: The chilli itself keeps well and could easily be repurposed as a filling for other dishes.
