  • Add the black beans and refried beans to the mince and mix through. Add in the tomato paste and water, stir to combine and simmer on a low heat for 5 minutes until it is a nice thick mixture (you don’t want it too watery but also not too thick – add more water if needed to get a nice consistency).
