Healthy Dairy Free, Creamy Mexican Black Beans, ready in 15mins! This is the ultimate pantry dinner – barely any fresh stuff needed which makes it perfect for a weekend lunch or last minute dinner.
I love a good vegetarian meal that uses staple ingredients usually already in my pantry and fridge – even better when it takes around 10minutes to make!
This is so creamy and delicious you can have it with rice, corn chips, in a wrap or even on its own.. If you love Mexican food you will love this one.
Michala’s Tips:
If you’re cooking this for little toddler tastebuds that don’t like a lot of flavour, omit the chilli/chipotle and smoked paprika (or halve it).
*It thickens up as it cools so great for leftovers on a wrap.
*Add the extra can of beans if you need large serving sizes
