Notes

In a real hurray?  Use a sachet of Mexican flavouring instead of the spices.
No black beans in the pantry?  Try kidney beans instead.
Serve on flatbread with chopped lettuce and cucumber.  No flatbread in the pantry?  Bread or toast will do.
Not vegan?  Add grated cheese and yoghurt.
And smother in chilli sauce!  Yum.
