A delicious vegan take on a Mexican favourite. Use handy canned refried beans and tasty corn tacos for a super quick supper. Spicy and delicious, these fast, healthy tacos remind me of a trip to Mexico. Not a country I would have associated with vegetarianism, but nonetheless, one of the most delicious things I tasted there were tacos with avocado, cooked at the road side.

Ingredienser för 6 small tacos, serves two as a light meal, add rice or potatoes for a more substantial main course

For the tacos:-

2 lök, hackad
a clove of garlic, malet
2 green birds eye chillies, hackad (this will be hot, use one for a milder effect)
en tesked torkad kummin utsäde
2 large ripe tomatoes, hackad
2 x 215g (7 och en 1/2 uns) can of refried beans
6 taco shells
vegetabilisk olja

For the guacamole topping:-

a large ripe avocado, chopped just before serving
a large ripe tomato, hackad
half a red onion, finely chopped
a green chilli, finely chopped
a garlic clove, malet
saften av en lime

To serve:-

the juice of half a lime and two lime wedges
a handful of chopped bottled jalapenos
a tablespoon of chopped, flat leaf parsley (tillval)
salt och peppar
Tabasco
seasonal salad leaves




Metod

Preheat the oven to 190C (375F, gas märke 5) for the tacos (eller enligt paketet)

Sweat the onion with a little oil and salt until softened but not browned (upp till 10 minuter) and then add the chillies and garlic

Add the cumin seed and stir. Leave for 2 minutes before adding the refried beans and a good grind of black pepper

Add the chopped tomatoes and heat the mixture through

Squeeze the juice of half of the lime over just before serving

Mix all the ingredients for the guacamole in a bowl just before serving, lightly mashed and rustic (rather than blitzed)

Heat the taco shells, open side down on a baking tray for 2-3 minutes in the hot oven (or follow the instructions on the box)

Pile the tacos shells with the beans and tomatoes, top with guacamole, jalapenos and a sprinkling of parsley (tillval)

Serve with a wedge of lime, seasonal leaves, black pepper and Tabasco to taste
