Black Bean Beauty

Also known as black turtle beans, this ingredient is a staple in Mexican dishes, both vegetarian and meat. They are versatile and can bulk up chillies, soups and some pasta dishes. A great store cupboard ingredient that can be used on the fly when there are slim pickings available.  Delicious in tacos or wraps with spices, vegetables and meat.
