Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup onion, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 8 small corn or flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 pieces lime wedges
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving a few chunks for texture.
Add breadcrumbs, egg, diced onion, garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the mashed beans. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape into small patties roughly the size of a taco shell's width.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, cook the black bean patties for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and firm.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat or in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for about 30 seconds.
Crumble the cooked black bean patties into bite-sized pieces or leave them whole, depending on your preference.
Assemble the tacos by layering crumbled or whole black bean patties onto the tortillas. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, and fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
