Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the tacos
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 onion finely diced (yellow or red)
  • 15 oz can black beans drained and rinsed (or about 1 ½ cups cooked)
  • 6 leaves lettuce
  • For the taco seasoning or use 1/2 packet of your favorite non-MSG taco seasoning:
  • 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp oregano
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 cup water
For the mango avocado salsa
  • 1 mango peeled and diced
  • 1 avocado peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cucumber peeled and diced
  • 1/2 jalapeño chilies seeds removed and minced
  • 1/4 sweet onion diced
  • 1 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/3 cup chopped cilantro leaves
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. First prepare the salsa. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine all taco seasoning ingredients. The tacos come together quickly, so I like to do this before anything goes on the stove.
  3. Add olive oil to a large pan over medium heat. Once shimmering, add garlic and onion and sauté until soft, 4-5 minutes.
  4. Pour in black beans and taco seasoning and stir to coat. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until beans are heated through and some of the water is evaporated, 2-3 minutes.
  5. Serve with lettuce leaves to be used as taco shells and mango avocado salsa.
