Black Bean Birria
Birria is a Mexican stew traditionally made with beef or goat. We’ve got a plant-powered twist here using slowly-simmered Queen Black Beans as the main event, whilst still achieving that deep, smoky flavour. Topped with yogurt, feta and creamy avocado - it’s a hearty stew in its own right. Or, serve with rice, crunchy tacos or mop up with soft tortillas for something extra filling. Get your hands on ancho chilli if you can - they’ll add a real depth of smoky heat and flavour.
