As this vegan recipe is vegan, you still want your protein and black beans are very high in protein and fibre. Mushrooms also provide some meatiness and fibre just like the beans do. Avocado as a superfood provides that taste you love alongside the healthy fats and is very good on a taco or other Mexican food. Some fresh chillies like jalapenos provide that sweet hotness without making your face melt and is always tasty.

Get all the goodness you need to start your day the tastiest way. Try our vegan fully-loaded breakfast tacos for a great, healthy way to start the day.
