Black Bean Tacos

This is a paid collaboration with MexGrocerUK.

These black bean tacos are so simple to make and are absolutely delicious! I've teamed up with MexGrocerUK to bring you this incredibly delicious recipe, using a handful of Mexican ingredients from their website https://www.mexgrocer.co.uk/

These tacos are baked instead of fried, so they are a bit healthier! They're full of flavour and have the most amazing texture from the soft black beans, juicy tomatoes and crispy tortillas.

MexGrocer are also offering a free bottle of El Yucateco Chipotle Salsa with every order if you use the code "Shannon" at checkout!

You can find the full video on how I made this recipe here.
