Ingredients
- 65g chorizo or vegetarian chorizo-style sausages
- 100g black beans or pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 55g green beans, finely chopped
- 20g sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
- 25g grilled artichokes, chopped
- ¼ onion, finely diced
- ½ garlic clove
- ½ tomato, diced
- 1–2 small tortilla wraps
- 40g plain yoghurt
- 15g cheddar, optional
- ¼ lime or lemon, juiced
- ½ tsp mild paprika
- ¼ tsp ground cumin
- 5ml oil
Method
- Heat oil in a frying pan. Add onion and cook for 5 minutes until soft.
- Add garlic, mild paprika and cumin. Cook for 30 seconds.
- Add green beans with a splash of water. Cover for 4–5 minutes, until tender.
- Add black beans and tomatoes. Cook for 3–4 minutes.
- Remove baby and toddler portions now if needed. Squash beans and chop green beans small.
- Add chorizo or vegetarian chorizo-style sausages, sun-dried tomatoes and artichokes to the main pan. Cook for 5–6 minutes until hot and slightly sticky.
- Warm tortillas.
- Serve the filling in tacos with yoghurt, optional cheddar and lime or lemon. Adults can add hot sauce.
Storage and reheating
Cool cooked rice dishes quickly, ideally within 1 hour, and refrigerate promptly. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 24–48 hours. Reheat rice dishes until steaming hot throughout and only reheat rice once. Keep yoghurt, cucumber and fresh lemon toppings separate until serving. For babies and toddlers, keep portions separate before adding salt, chorizo, sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, feta, cheddar or chilli.
Safety and substitutions
Beans should be squashed for babies. Chorizo, cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and artichokes are salty, so avoid them in baby portions. Tortillas can be chewy for babies and younger toddlers.
