Getting Started

Let’s get the bean and corn mixture ready for the tacos.

• In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
• Finely chop 1 red onion and 1 red chili.
• Add the chopped onion and chili to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes.
• Roughly chop 5 mushrooms.
• Once the onions are cooked, add the chopped mushrooms and cook for 1-2 minutes.

The Bean and Corn

Now that the onions and mushrooms have cooked, we can add the rest of the ingredients.

• Add 2 cups of black beans to the pan.
• Mix and cook for 3-4 minutes.
• Then, add 1 cup of thawed corn to the pan and mix it in.
• Cook for about 2-3 minutes.

Spices for the Bean and Corn Taco Mix

Now we are ready to add the spices to the pan.

• Add salt to taste. I usually buy “no salt added” beans and so I add salt to taste to the pan.
• Next, add 1 tablespoon of paprika.
• Then, add 1 teaspoon of cumin powder.
• Finally, add 1 tablespoon of ancho chili in adobo sauce. This will the bean and corn mix a natural smoky flavour.
• Mix everything in well and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
• Enjoy your bean and corn tacos.

Serving Suggestions

Now that we have our mixture ready, we are ready to enjoy our dinner.

• Sprinkle some freshly chopped coriander onto the mixture before serving.
• I love to serve the tacos with homemade guacamole. Add some to the bottom of the tacos before adding the bean and taco mix.
• My other favourite thing to add to the tacos is fresh homemade mango salsa. I find the freshness and sweetness of the mango goes really well with the salty earthy flavours of the bean and corn tacos.
