Refried bean tacos

Ingredients - serves 2


  • 12 Crunchy taco shells

  • Coconut yogurt to top

  • Red and green chilli to top

  • 1 Pomegranate

  • 2 avocados

  • 800g black beans

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • ½ cup finely chopped white onion

  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

  • 2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced

  • ½ teaspoon chili powder

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

  • bbq sauce

Method


  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the olive oil until shimmering.

  • Add the onions and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened and are turning translucent, about 5 to 8 minutes.

  • Add the garlic, chili powder and cumin. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the drained beans and water. Stir, cover and cook for 5 minutes.

  • Reduce the heat to low and remove the lid. Use a potato masher or the back of a fork to mash up about at least half of the beans, until you reach your desired consistency. Continue to cook the beans, uncovered, stirring often, for 3 more minutes.Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in lime juice.

  • Taste, and add more salt and lime juice if necessary. If the beans seem dry, add a very small splash of water and stir to combine.

  • Put the beans and chopped avocado in the taco shells

  • Top with pomegranate, chilli, yogurt and bbq sauce
