Notes

You can easily add meat to this dish. Add 500 g chicken, pork or beef mince instead of the beans and break up the mince with a wooden spoon. Alternatively, do a half/half ratio of mince to beans.
You can find Mexican spice mix in the spice or Mexican section of your supermarket. The individual sachets for burritos or fajitas work well.
