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.
