CRISPY BLACK BEAN TACOS WITH AVOCADO CREAM SAUCE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Filling:
• 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.
• 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.
• Tacos:
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Serve these black bean tacos warm with a side of vegan avocado cream sauce (instructions below).
• For The Avocado Sauce
• 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.
• 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.
• 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!
