Black Bean Tacos with Corn Salsa

These vibrant black bean tacos offer a delightful twist on a plant-based favourite by using a clever oven-baked crumble. By pulsing black beans with oats and cornmeal, you create a satisfyingly crisp texture that mimics savoury mince. This vegan dish is packed with plant-based protein and fibre, making it an excellent choice for a nutritious midweek meal that doesn't compromise on bold Mexican-inspired flavours.

The dish is perfectly balanced by a colourful corn salsa, featuring crunchy red peppers and a zesty lime dressing. The contrast between the warm, spiced beans and the cool, sharp salsa makes these tacos a crowd-pleasing option for any occasion. Serve them straight from the oven with a generous scattering of fresh coriander for a light yet filling dinner that the whole family will enjoy.

How to make Black Bean Tacos with Corn Salsa

Heat oven to 204°C. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. In a food processor, chop garlic. Add beans, oats, cornmeal, chilli powder, 3/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons black pepper; process, stopping once or twice to scrape down sides, until mixture is combined, 1 minute. Crumble bean mixture with hands, sprinkle on prepared sheet, and coat with cooking spray. Bake until firm and crisp on bottom, 10 to 15 minutes. Use a spoon to break up pieces, coat with cooking spray, and bake until crisp all over, 10 to 15 minutes. Stack tortillas and wrap in foil; warm in oven 5 minutes. In a bowl, combine corn, pepper, chilli, spring onions and remaining 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons black pepper; sprinkle with lime juice. Divide bean crumble among tortillas; top with corn salsa and coriander.
