Thomasina Miers’ blistered green bean tacos recipe

Thomasina Miers’ shares her completely irresistible blistered green bean tacos recipe for a delicious and healthy dinner.

Thomasina Miers

This meat-free Mexican-inspired dish combines dynamic flavours of fresh vegetables, herbs, nuts and chillies. Influenced by a stuffed taco Thomasina tried in a Mexican restaurant, she combines her loving memories of ‘surreptitiously snapping them off the plants in my aunt’s garden in Wales, where we would go for the summer holidays’ to make an intriguingly modern plant-based meal. Celebrating Mexican flavour, this recipe combines Thomasina’s love of good ingredients woven with Mexico’s consciousness and native plant species.
