Food: Bean & Vegetable Tacos

Mexican food is on another level, the ingredients and spices they use are just on point. I recreated a famous dish that everyone knows, made it low-fat and packed it full of nutritious and tasty ingredients. Please feel free to add meat if you want, but for me it really isn't needed.

Bean & Vegetable Tacos

Serves 2 people

Ingredients:

4 taco shells

Tin of mixed beans

6 pieces of sliced baby corn

2 handfuls of spinach

2 crushed garlic cloves

Tablespoon of Paprika

Teaspoon Turmeric
Tablespoon mixed dried herbs

Teaspoon chilli flakes

Salt & Pepper

Half a tin of chopped tomatoes

60g low fat grated cheese

Half a Avocado

1 lime

Parsley to garnish

Method:

1) Add the mixed beans to a pan with the chopped tomatoes, garlic, turmeric, paprika, chilli flakes,herbs  and a teaspoon of salt and pepper, simmer on low for 10 minutes.

2) Add the spinach, and baby corn and cook for a further 2 minutes.

3) Slice half an avocado, and slice a lime in half, and squeeze over the avocado.

4) Load around 3 heaped tablespoons of the bean mix into the 4 tacos, and top with the sliced avocado. 

5) Sprinkle cheese, and the chopped parsley all over the tacos - and serve.

The baby corn add a really gorgeous crunch amongst the soft beans and avocado. The lime and parsley adds a fresh and zingy kick to the dish.

It takes around 10 minutes to cook, and for 2 fully loaded tacos on Weight Watchers, it comes in at 10 Smart Points.
