Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 tsp Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 8 small Corn tortillas
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 1 medium Avocado, sliced
- 1 large Lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the drained black beans to the skillet along with ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Cook the bean mixture for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the spices to meld and the beans to warm through.
While the beans are cooking, warm the corn tortillas either in the oven, microwave, or on a dry skillet until pliable.
Assemble each taco by spooning a generous portion of the black bean mixture onto a tortilla.
Top each taco with cherry tomato halves, chopped cilantro, and slices of avocado.
Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over just before eating.
