The smokiness of the Barbecoa Beans are a natural match for this cheesy, jalapeño-studded cornbread recipe. Served with a fresh tomato salsa, it’s a fuss-free trio that makes a brilliant weeknight dinner – simple, hearty and seriously satisfying.

Potato skins are oh-so versatile. Load them up with Barbecoa Beans, chunky guac and sweet red pepper for a family-friendly dinner that’s fast, fun and full of flavour.

Think juicy chicken, smoky beans and buttery corn on the cob – all done with minimal effort. Let the air fryer handle the chicken, zap the beans for a minute, and dinner’s done. It's a total midweek winner.

The Barbecoa Beans paired with sticky slow-cooked pork ribs, homemade coleslaw and a lemony herb yoghurt dressing is a match made in heaven. The creaminess of the beans goes so well with a crunchy coleslaw, whilst this melt-in-the-mouth ribs recipe is so hard to beat.

These beans aren’t just for dinner – they’re brunch-ready too. Add them to your halloumi fritters for a smoky twist, alongside sweetcorn salsa, wilted spinach and a chilli-spiked yoghurt drizzle.
