METHOD
- Reserve 1 tsp taco seasoning, then combine remaining with minces, egg, breadcrumbs, parsley and season. Form into meatballs using 1 tbs mixture and chill for 30 minutes.
- Heat 2 tbs oil in a large frypan over medium-high heat. Add half the meatballs and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning, until cooked through. Repeat with remaining balls and oil.
- Wipe pan clean and add 2 tbs oil, onion and capsicum, season and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the reserved taco seasoning, garlic and black beans and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the chopped tomatoes and ½ cup (125ml) water, and bring to a simmer. Return the meatballs to the mixture and cook for a further 3-4 minutes.
- Set aside 8 meatballs, some sauce and remaining ingredients for the subs for lunch.
- Serve meatballs for dinner with avocado, coriander, lime and sour cream.
- For the lunch boxes, slice open the dinner rolls then add the meatballs and sauce. Drizzle a little lime over the avocado so it doesn’t go brown, then add to rolls with coriander.
