Black bean and corn tacos
Background
The basic recipe of these black bean and corn tacos is suitable for kids too, as it's not spicy. If you want it to have a bit of a kick, then add 3-4 tablespoons of spicy salsa and/or a finely sliced green chilli to it just before serving. It's perfect for parties or as part of a Mexican meal.
