How to cook deliciously - Black Bean Tacos

1. Stage

Finely chop the onions and peppers. In a lightly oiled, large non-stick skillet, sauté the onions and peppers until they are crisp-tender. Add the black beans after they have been rinsed and drained, as well as two large seeded and chopped tomatoes (or four smaller tomatoes, such as Romas). Shred the cabbage and add this to the mixture too, along with corn kernels, taco seasoning, lime juice and minced garlic. Editor’s Tip: Roasted corn tastes amazing but takes a long time to prep as you need to remove kernels from the cob, preheat the oven and roast the corn. Instead, buy a bag of frozen roasted corn kernels and heat up in a small frying pan with olive oil, salt and pepper.

2. Stage

Stirring over medium heat, cook the taco filling until the vegetables are tender, about 8-10 minutes. Next, stir in the brown rice and heat the mixture all the way through.
