If we had to pick a single recipe to make for the family, this would be the one we would choose. It is so versatile and everyone loves the Mexican-style dishes that can be created with this awesome bean mix, like burritos and nachos. The mix can be easily frozen in portion sizes and thawed in the fridge ready for a quick and delicious dinner when you arrive home.

- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp ground coriander
- 1 red capsicum, sliced
- 400g tin diced tomatoes
- 1 tbsp vegan stock powder
- 420g tin cooked red kidney beans
