Tacos with a spicy bean filling and all the trimmings. The veggie bean filling can be made in advance and will keep in the freezer for 2 months, so whenever you fancy a veggie taco you can whip one up in minutes.
Method
-
Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the onion, garlic and celery until soft.
-
Add the mushrooms and chillies and cook for one minute.Add the tomato purée and cook for a further 2-3 minutes. When the mushrooms are soft, add the cocoa powder (if using) and stock and bring to the boil.
-
Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, then add the beans and cook for a further 10-12 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced and the beans are all heated through.
-
To serve, place 2-3 tablespoonfuls of the bean chilli in each taco shell. Top with the grated cheese, chopped coriander (if using), and a spoon of yoghurt and put on plates.
