Black beans are low-GI and high in fibre - a great addition to any meal. In this recipe, they form the basis of these tasty vegetarian tortillas.
1 Spray a large saucepan with oil. Set over a medium heat. Add onion, carrot and courgette. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes or until soft. Add garlic and Mexican seasoning. Cook, stirring, for 1 more minute. Add tomato paste and cook for 1 more minute.
2 Add black beans and tomatoes to saucepan with 1 cup water. Bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until mixture is thick.
3 Meanwhile, combine extra chilli powder with avocado and coriander in a medium-sized bowl.
4 Place 1 grilled tortilla on each serving plate. Top with bean mixture and spicy avocado. Serve immediately.
Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free Mexican seasoning and tomato paste.

We loved this recipe served in taco “boats”. Quick and easy altho we had no courgettes so just left them out.
I left out courgettes too and added in a red capsicum – it was very tasty.
