Mexican Bean & Corn Chilli

By August 4, 2021August 17th, 2022No Comments

This is a great recipe to have in your repertoire as it’s so incredible versatile. You can enjoy it with grains like rice or quinoa, with baked potatoes or with tortilla wraps. It keeps well in the fridge for a few days and freezes really well too.

Beans are packed with iron, vitamin C and fibre, and the dish enjoys plenty of flavour from store cupboard spices.
