Ingredients:
2 cloves of garlic crushed and chopped
1 x onion diced
Mexican spice mix*
1 x tin of tomatoes (or fresh tomatoes)
1-2 x tins of beans (any kind you have e.g. kidney beans, chickpeas, blackbeans, 4 bean mix, even baked beans will work)
Any salad ingredients (e.g. lettuce, purple cabbage, capsicum, carrot, cucumber, avocado, spinach- aim for lots of colours!)
Flatbreads, wraps, or cooked rice
Plain yoghurt / lite sour cream
Optional mince
