Main Ingredients

  • black beans
  • olive oil
  • onion
  • garlic
  • cumin
  • paprika
  • salt and pepper
  • corn kernels
  • corn tortillas
  • avocado
  • lime
  • fresh cilantro

Instructions
 

Steps

  • Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until it's translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  • Add the drained black beans to the saucepan. Sprinkle in cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to ensure the beans are evenly coated. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated. Optionally, mash some beans with the spoon.
  • Add corn kernels to the saucepan with the beans. Stir to combine and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the corn is warm and well combined with the beans.
  • Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until pliable. This prevents them from cracking.
  • Assemble the tacos by placing a generous scoop of the black bean mixture on each tortilla, topping with avocado slices, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Add salsa or hot sauce to taste.

Notes

These tacos taste best when freshly made. Store any leftover filling in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
