Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and saute for 3 minutes.

Add the drained beans and seasonings. Stir for 5-8 minutes until warmed, crushing some of the beans with the back of a spoon.

Remove from heat and set aside.

To make the guacamole:

Crush the garlic and mix with the coriander and chilli in a bowl. If you have a pestle and mortar, combine the ingredients into a paste.

Add the avocados and roughly crush with a fork or pestle and mortar, so it is still a little chunky.

Add the lime juice and stir through. Set aside.

To make the salsa:

Mix all of the salsa ingredients together in a bowl. Set aside.

To construct your tacos:

Heat the taco shells following packet instructions, stuff with your chosen fillings and enjoy.
