This hearty vegan taco recipe features corns, black beans, red capsicum, and topped with Dibble Mayo. The mixture of the tabasco and mayo is the secret behind this spicy black bean tacos. With Mexican inspired dishes, we always have so much fun trying to find ways to add a twist to this classic favourite. Beans are also an excellent source of protein, vitamins, minerals, and complex carbohydrates. They’re also very low in fat, almost sodium-free and extremely inexpensive, especially compared to fresh meat. A single cup of beans contains roughly 16 grams of fibre, which increases satiety and helps to lower cholesterol levels. So if you are looking for more ways to add beans into your diet, try this vegan taco recipe. We don’t want to brag that this is the best vegan taco recipe, but let’s just say we don’t mind eating this once a week. Try it yourself with the recipe below!
