Ingredients

1 tbsp Olive oil
1 Diced red capsicum
½ Diced red onion
2 Cans black beans, drained not rinsed
½ cup Reserved black bean liquid
1 Diced tomato
75 g Baby spinach, roughly chopped
1 tbsp Taco seasoning
12 Small tortillas
1 cup Shredded cheese
1 Sliced avocado
Hot sauce
Avocado crema
1 Avocado
cup Plain Greek yogurt
¼ cup Coriander
1 Clove garlic
3 tbsp Lime juice
½ tsp Salt
½ tsp Pepper

Method

1

Preheat the oven to 180°C and spray a large baking tray with olive oil.

2

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the capsicum and onion; cook for 5 to 6 minutes, until soft.

3

Add black beans, tomato, spinach, taco seasoning, and the reserved black bean liquid. Use a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon to partially mash about half of the black beans. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, until the mixture thickens.

4

Place tortillas on a plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave for 30 seconds, until tortillas are warm and pliable.

5

Arrange the tortillas on the baking tray. Sprinkle half of each tortilla with a little cheese, followed by 2–3 tablespoons of the black bean mixture. Top with another light sprinkle of cheese, and fold over the tortilla; press to adhere. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

6

Now prepare the avocado crema. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the avocado, yoghurt, coriander, garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.

7

Bake the filled tortillas for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden, flipping halfway. Serve with the avocado crema and sliced avocado on top.
