Ingredients
- 4 small ready-made tortillas
- 1 can black beans (drained, ~200g)
- 1 tomato (diced)
- ¼ onion (thinly sliced)
- 40g shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tbsp Mexican hot sauce (optional)
- 1 lime wedge (juiced)
- ¼ tsp salt
- 5g chopped cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
1.Prepare Beans & Vegetables: Texture Matters
Place the drained black beans into the Geedel Food Dicer Chopper on the coarse setting. Press once to break them down slightly while keeping some beans whole for texture—avoid turning them into paste.
Wash and destem the tomato, then dice it into 1cm pieces using the same tool. Combine the beans and tomato in a bowl, season with salt, and mix gently.
2.hape & Bake the Taco Bowls: Easy & No-Fuss
Lightly grease a muffin tin. Press each tortilla into the molds to form a "bowl" shape. Bake at 180°C for 8 minutes until crisp and firm. Remove from the oven, add 10g of cheese to the bottom of each bowl, then spoon in the bean and tomato mixture. Top with the remaining cheese.
3.Final Bake & Seasoning: Melted & Flavorful
Return the filled bowls to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, garnish with sliced onion and cilantro, and finish with a squeeze of lime juice. Drizzle with hot sauce if desired.
Each bite offers a perfect mix of the crispy tortilla bowl, creamy beans, and melted cheese—a truly comforting and authentic taste of Mexico, ready in minutes.
