Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
  • 1 Onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp Taco seasoning
  • 2 x 400g tins Black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 80ml Water
  • 8 Taco shells
  • 2 Tomatoes, diced
  • 1/4 Lettuce, shredded
  • 100g Cheddar, grated
  • 4 tbsp Sour cream, to serve
  • 1 Lime, cut into wedges

You’ll need: Frying pan, Baking tray

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 160°C (140°C fan) and warm the taco shells on a tray for 4–5 minutes, or as the packet says.

  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook the onion for 4 minutes until soft. Stir in the taco seasoning for 30 seconds.

  3. Add the beans and water. Simmer for 4–5 minutes, mashing about half the beans with a fork or potato masher, until thick and scoopable.

  4. Spoon the beans into the shells. Top with tomato, lettuce, cheddar and sour cream and serve with lime wedges.

Storage

Keep the bean filling in the fridge up to 3 days and reheat until piping hot all the way through. Fill the shells just before eating.
