2 x 215g cans refried beans
10 cherry tomatoes
1 small packet fresh coriander

Tips:

Choose ripe ackees: Look for ackees that are a deep red color and have a slightly soft texture. Avoid ackees that are green or have black spots.
Prepare the ackees properly: Ackees contain a toxin called hypoglycin A, which can cause Jamaican vomiting sickness. To remove the toxin, boil the ackees for 10 minutes, then discard the water. You can also purchase canned ackees, which have already been boiled.
Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your tacos will taste. Use ripe tomatoes, avocados, and cilantro. If you can't find fresh avocados, you can use guacamole instead.
Season the tacos to taste: Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings. You can add chili powder, cumin, or paprika to the ackee mixture. You can also add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the tacos immediately: Tacos are best served fresh. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours. When you're ready to serve, reheat them in the oven or microwave.

Conclusion:

Ackee tacos with island guacamole are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The ackee mixture is flavorful and savory, and the guacamole adds a creamy and refreshing touch. These tacos are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
