Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 8 small tortillas (corn or flour)
- 1 cup red salsa
- 0.5 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
- 1 whole lime, cut into wedges
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 cup cotija cheese or crumbled feta (optional)
- 1 cup red cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 large avocado, sliced
Instructions
Drain and rinse the black beans in a colander and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring frequently.
Stir in the ground cumin, chili powder, and kosher salt, then add the black beans to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are warmed through and coated in the spices. Turn off the heat and set aside.
Warm the tortillas by heating them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side or wrapping them in foil and placing them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5 minutes.
To assemble the tacos, start by placing a spoonful of spiced black beans onto each tortilla. Top with a scoop of red salsa, a drizzle of sour cream or Greek yogurt, and a few slices of avocado.
Add a handful of thinly sliced red cabbage, a sprinkle of cilantro, and, if desired, cotija or feta cheese.
Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Enjoy immediately!
