Step 1

Filling:

Step 2

Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low. Add in the onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until turning translucent. Add in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 3

Season with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to taste, then remove from heat. Add the cooked black beans to a large mixing bowl and roughly mash them. Stir in the onion mixture and combine well.

Step 4

Tacos:

Step 5

Once the filling is mixed together, add about ½ - 1 more tbsp of oil into the skillet and turn it to medium heat. Add 1-2 corn tortillas in a single layer and cook on the first side for about 10 seconds.

Step 6

Then, scoop about 3-4 tbsp of bean mixture onto one half of each tortilla. You can also add some grated vegan cheese on top if you want. Using a spatula, fold the tortillas in half and press down to shape the tacos. Cook on each side until golden brown, about 1-3 minutes.

Step 7

Continue cooking the tacos following this process until all the bean mixture is gone. Make sure to top up the oil as your pan dries out.

Step 8

Serve these black bean tacos warm with a side of vegan avocado cream sauce (instructions below).

Step 9

For The Avocado Sauce

Step 10

First, slice and de-seed your jalapeño. Then, de-pit the avocados and scoop out the flesh into a high-speed blender or food processor. Add the rest of the ingredients in except the olive oil and water.

Step 11

Blend on high until you achieve a smooth consistency, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Turn back on to low-medium and add in the olive oil slowly.

Step 12

Taste and adjust the seasonings to your preferences. Add jalapeño for more kick, water to thin, lime juice for more tang, or salt to bring out the flavors. Enjoy!
