Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cans (15 ounces each) black beans, or 3 cups cooked black beans
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup plain Greek or regular yogurt
2 tablespoons lime juice (from 1 small lime)
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
Optional: Your favorite hot sauce, to taste (or just serve it on the side with your tacos/I love Tabasco's chipotle hot sauce)
8 to 10 small corn or flour tortillas (I think I like flour better)
3 cups finely sliced red or green cabbage (about 1/2 medium head of cabbage)
1/2 cup or more crumbled Cotija or feta cheese
Big handful of fresh cilantro leaves and/or thinly sliced green onion

Steps:

  • To make the black beans: We're going to use the cooking liquid from one can of beans (or substitute 1/3 cup water for the cooking liquid). Rinse and drain the other can of beans. Once the beans are ready to go, warm the olive oil in small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the cumin, garlic and salt. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  • Pour in the can of beans with all of its liquid (or 1/3 cup water). Stir to combine. Mash up a portion of the beans with a potato masher or serving fork. Cook for a few minutes, stirring often, until the mixture reaches a simmer. Mash up the beans once more, then add the rinsed and drained beans.
  • Stir to combine. Simmer for a few minutes, then reduce the heat to a bare minimum while we finish the remaining ingredients. Cover the pot, and stir it every few minutes so the beans don't stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • To make the "crema": Combine the yogurt, lime juice and salt in a small bowl. Stir to combine. If desired, add hot sauce, to taste. Set aside.
  • Warm the tortillas in a large skillet over medium heat in batches, flipping to warm each side. Alternatively, you can warm them directly over a low flame on a gas range. Stack the warmed tortillas on a plate and cover with a tea towel to keep warm.
  • Soften the cabbage just a bit by sprinkling it with a couple dashes of salt. Then use your hands to "massage" it by scrunching up handfuls of cabbage until it is slightly wilted and fragrant.
  • Finally, assemble your tacos: Spread a layer of beans down the center of each tortilla, followed by a small handful of cabbage, a generous drizzle of sauce, and sprinkles of cheese and cilantro and/or green onion. Serve immediately.

CRISPY BLACK BEAN TACOS WITH AVOCADO CREAM SAUCE RECIPE BY TASTY



Crispy Black Bean Tacos With Avocado Cream Sauce Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: olive oil, medium white onion, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper, black beans, vegan cheese, corn tortillas, ripe avocados, fresh jalapeño, fresh cilantro, lime juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, water

Provided by Mitch & Justine Chapman

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
½ medium white onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon paprika
salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups black beans, cooked
½ cup vegan cheese, grated, optional
8 corn tortillas
2 ripe avocados
1 fresh jalapeño, de-seeded
¾ cup fresh cilantro
4 tablespoons lime juice
3 cloves garlic
¼ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup water

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!

Seven Layer Spider Dip Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: dried pinto beans, olive oil, garlic, paprika, taco seasoning, salt, sour cream, medium ripe avocados, medium lime, shredded mexican cheese blend, medium tomato, black olive, scallions

Provided by Chaitra Kishore

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups dried pinto beans
1 tablespoon olive oil,
2 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
½ teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
salt, to taste
½ cup sour cream, 2 tbsp sour cream (for the spider web)
2 medium ripe avocados
1 medium lime, (use half for avocado & half for the pico de gallo)
¼ cup shredded mexican cheese blend
½ medium tomato, 1/4 medium red onion, both finely-diced
1 handful black olive, sliced into thin circles, olive spider or plastic spider
1 handful scallions, (sliced into thin circles) or cilantro (finely chopped)

Steps:

  • Set up a clear, round corningware dish (i.e. a Pyrex baking dish).
  • For your first layer of beans, cook 2 cups (340 G) dry pinto beans in an Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker. Let cool. Transfer to a blender. Add a bit of water and blend to a smooth paste (about 1 cup). Alternatively, you can use an 8 oz can of refried beans.
  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in a sauté pan on medium heat and add garlic. Sauté till aromatic.
  • Add bean paste and sprinkle in paprika, taco seasoning, and salt to taste. Mix well. Let the beans cook for a few minutes and then take off flame. Spread this paste on the bottom of the bean dip, creating an even layer.
  • Then, layer sour cream on top evenly. On top of this, layer the avocados, mashed fully and mixed with the juice of half of a medium-sized lime. (Note: Alternatively, you could use 1 cup store bought guacamole.)
  • Then, sprinkle shredded Mexican cheese along the outer layer of the dip to form a ring on top of the avocado.
  • Add your finely-diced tomatoes and red onion pieces to a small bowl. Squeeze in the juice of half a medium sized lime. Mix well. (Note: Instead of pico de gallo, you could use 2 tbsp of store bought salsa.) Spread the pico de gallo (or salsa) on top of the cheese ring.
  • Sprinkle thinly sliced black olives and thinly sliced green scallions on top.
  • To make the spider web: add 2 tbsp of sour cream to a small squirt bottle, thinning out with a little water if needed.. Squeeze out the sour cream and draw a spider web on top of the avocado.
  • Top with a friendly olive spider or plastic spider and serve alongside tortilla chips.
