There's no denying that tacos are an absolute crowd favourite. From beef to beans and everything in between, there are so many ways to fill your shell and feast on the tasty morsels. 

Need a little inspiration for your next at-home taco night? We've teamed up with Old El Paso to help you add three new (and delicious) recipes to your repertoire. So, next time you're craving Mexican food, whip up these tried and tested tacos for a guaranteed good time. 

These vegan tacos are filled with charred beans and corn, crunchy slaw, buttery avocado and umami-packed miso mayo—so tasty your carnivorous-inclined mates won't even notice. 

125g vegan mayonnaise 1 tablespoon white miso paste 1 teaspoon soy sauce 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

125g Chinese leaves, shredded 1 carrot, peeled and shredded 1 spring onion, thinly sliced diagonally 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 x 198g tin sweetcorn, drained and patted dry 1 x 215g tin kidney beans, rinsed, drained, patted dry 1 sachet Old El Paso™ Taco Spice Mix 2 avocados, stones removed, peeled and sliced 1 pack Old El Paso™ Stand 'N' Stuff Tortillas (8 tortillas) 2 tablespoons freshly chopped coriander Lime wedges, to serve

1. In a medium bowl, beat the miso mayo ingredients with whisk to combine. Transfer 75ml to small bowl for serving and set aside. Add the Chinese leaves, carrot and spring onion to the remaining miso mayo left in the bowl and toss to coat.

2. Heat oil in a medium frying pan over medium-high heat. Add corn and beans and cook for 2-3 minutes or until slightly charred, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in spice mix and 1 tablespoon water.

3. Heat tortillas to pack instructions. Divide avocado slices evenly between tortillas, then top with leaf mixture. Top with the corn and beans. Drizzle with remaining miso mayo and scatter over the coriander. Serve with lime wedges.

These easy-to-make tacos are sweet, savoury and filled with soft and crunchy textures.
