I got my days wrong and made tacos on a monday night instead of #TACOTUESDAY!! oh well they were delicious nonetheless. Summer is on its way in Australia and it means Mangoes are everywhere and so delicious and juicy. I want to make the most of them this summer by eating as many as I can and putting them in more recipes!
So here comes my black bean tacos. I actually ate some in Las Vegas 3 years ago- not healthy though. So these are much healthier. I didn’t make my own tortillas because #mumlife (or really #lazymumlife!) I used some good quality 100% corn tortillas.
I also used canned black beans because they are much easier and convenient. I try to reduce my canned legumes and soak them myself but sometimes convenience wins.
These tacos are super easy, healthy, tasty and vegan. They would be perfect for summer evenings with friends.
