    1. Hiya Jen, sorry about that – think Holly’s closed down her blog, which is a shame! I delved through my email archives and managed to find the recipe for you :) Enjoy!

      Cheesy black bean and tomato tacos

      Serves 2

      400g tin black beans, drained (240g when drained)
      1/2 red onion, diced
      3tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
      2-3 large tomatoes, diced
      1tsp paprika
      1/2tsp ground cumin
      1/2tsp cayenne chilli pepper
      75g cheddar cheese, grated
      2 flour tortillas
      Avocado and lettuce, to serve

      In a large bowl, combine the drained black beans, diced red onion, coriander, diced tomatoes and the spices. Stir thoroughly to combine.

      Lay one of the flour tortillas in a lightly oiled pan over a medium-low heat, and spoon half of the black bean mixture across just one half of the tortilla. Press the mixture out with the back of a spoon, and top with half of the grated cheese. Fold over the other half of the tortilla. In the space created in the pan, repeat with the remaining tortilla, black bean mixture and grated cheese (if you’d prefer, you can just cook one at a time).

      Cook for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is beginning to melt and the underside of the tortilla is golden brown and fairly crispy. Very carefully, use a large spatula to flip the tacos over to cook the other side. Some of the filling will probably fall out, but you can just spoon it back in again. Cook the other side of the taco for a further 5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Serve warm with avocado and lettuce, or your favourite Mexican-style toppings, such as salsa, guacamole or sour cream.
