By Kai Pearcey

Mexican-Inspired · Dinner · Easy · 0 min · 13 ingredients

These vegetarian tacos have a deliciously satisfying black bean filling with fresh salsa and seasonings all tucked into a golden crispy tortilla and served alongside a cool and creamy cilantro lime sauce. YUM!

Ingredients

  • 1 (14-ounce) can of black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup of your favorite salsa
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 6-8 small flour tortillas
  • 1/4 – 1/2 cup olive oil or butter for frying
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • juice of 2 limes
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (sub avocado to keep it dairy free / vegan)

Steps

  1. Blend all ingredients in the cilantro lime sauce until smooth-ish. Set aside.
  2. In a food processor or chopper, blend the beans, salsa, and taco seasoning. Transfer to a skillet with a drizzle of oil and cook it up long enough to soften the flavors of the garlic and / or onions in the salsa. About 5 minutes is fine.
  3. Spread a few tablespoons of black bean filling into a flour tortilla. Fold in half. Repeat until the filling is used up (about 6-8 tacos).
  4. Heat some oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry in a skillet over medium heat, until crispy and golden brown. Dip in cilantro lime sauce. Serve with chips and salsa and a mid-week margarita. You’re welcome.
