Whilst hearty meals are my normal go-to in the colder months, sometimes I crave something that is still warming but just that little bit lighter and that’s where this coconut lime noodle soup comes to play! The best part is it’s ready in next to no time, making it perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.
Mexican food has long been one of my favourites for many reasons, not least of all because of all the colour it involves! This black bean burrito bowl is not only full of colour but plenty of flavour and texture too, making it the perfect dinner in my books!
My love of hummus has been well documented here on I Spy Plum Pie, with lots of variations showing up over the last few years. I decided to mix things up a little recently and make dip using one of my other favourite beans, so black bean dip it is! Now, this dip is definitely not going to win any prizes for how it looks, but believe me it’s well worth it for the flavour!
Black beans are one of my pantry staples, I keep them on hand for quick Mexican dinners and healthy, delicious salads like this Mexican bean salad! I whipped up this for a BBQ at a friend’s place and it was gobbled up in no time. It’s super quick and easy to make and doesn’t even require turning on the oven which is always a win in summer. I recommend you give it a try!
I eat a lot of Mexican food over the warmer months but usually fall back on simple black bean tacos but I decided to branch out a little over the weekend and the end result were these crispy tofu tacos! They are full of both flavour and texture and make an excellent mid-week meal when it’s far too hot to turn the oven on. Plus they’re delicious!
