If you love spicy food this dish is for you.  I tried a Mexican dish today,  simple to make and packed with flavours.  I used black Beans for the very first time, not only is it a good source of protein, it is delicious.  Everything is baked and the mince meat is packed with flavour.  If you prefer a less spicy version reduce the cayenne pepper and chilli flakes.
