Nacho Beans
- 20 ml olive oil
- 1 brown onion (diced)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)

- 410 g canned tomatoes (crushed or diced)
- 240 g cooked black beans (rinsed and drained)
- 1 cup corn kernals
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground smoked paprika
- 50 g tomato paste
-
Heat oil in a small saucepan
-
Saute onion, garlic and capsicum for a few minutes
-
Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 10 minutes, periodically stirring to ensure the mixture does not catch to the bottom of the saucepan
-
Using a stick mixer/immersion blender, very quickly blitz the mixture so that only a small amount of the mixture is pureed. Stir mixture to evenly combine.

Serve as required.
