Clean Eating Mexican Bean Smash

It’s a bit of a dreary June day which has left me feeling like going back to bed to hibernate until the sun comes out again and warms me up. There is no way the heating can go on, so a hoody and some comfort food is just what I need to prevent the week long hibernation.

This Mexican Bean Smash is a quick and tasty recipe that will leave you feeling full and satisfied. Simple ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen cupboards are transformed into a nutritious breakfast, lunch or snack.

I can’t think of a better way to use up those cans or cartons of kidney beans that hang around for months on end! Serve on toasted wholegrain bread, crackers, wraps or as a dip with veggie sticks. Happy Meat Free Monday 🙂
