A delicious and spicy bowl of Mexican Ramen Noodles that's perfect on a cold day.
When it's cold or rainy outside, I love a hot bowl of Ramen Noodles. Today I'm sharing one of my ramen noodles recipes with a Mexican twist. Mexican Ramen Noodles are cooked in enchilada sauce and vegetable broth. It's packed with flavor.
Additionally, for this recipe I don't use the cheap packet of ramen noodles with terrible ingredients, instead, I love using Ocean's Halo Organic Ramen Noodles which are just three ingredients and clean. They're so delicious.
Can I make Ramen Noodles gluten-free?
Sure. You can replace traditional ramen noodles with rice noodles or gluten-free ramen noodle packets. There are a few brands out there.
What toppings can I add to these Mexican Ramen Noodles?
Traditional Mexican food toppings work, such as cilantro, scallions, tortilla strips, shredded cheddar cheese, avocado, sour cream, pico de gallo, and anything else your heart desires.
