Provided by Jennifer Joyce

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tbsp vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves, chopped
3 x 400g cans black beans, drained and rinsed
3 tbsp cider vinegar
1 ½ tbsp honey
1 ½ tbsp smoked paprika
1 ½ tbsp ground cumin
1 small garlic clove
2 tbsp roughly chopped coriander
1 green chilli, sliced
2 avocados, halved and stoned
juice 1 lime
110g pack pomegranate seeds
1 green chilli, finely diced
1small white onion, finely diced
small handful fresh coriander, chopped
8-12 corn or flour tortillas
chipotle or other hot sauce
soured cream or coconut yogurt

Steps:

  • In a large frying pan, heat the oil and add the garlic. Fry until golden, then add the beans. Pour in the cider vinegar, honey and spices along with 1 tsp or more of salt, to taste. Cook until warmed through, crushing gently with the back of your wooden spoon, then set aside.
  • The best way to make the guacamole is with a large stone pestle and mortar, but you can use a medium bowl and a flat-ended rolling pin instead. Crush the garlic, coriander and chilli into a rough paste. Scoop in the avocado with a little salt and crush roughly - you want it chunky, not smooth. Squeeze in the lime juice and set aside.
  • Mix the salsa ingredients in a small bowl. Heat a griddle pan or steamer and quickly griddle the tortillas or steam a stack of them to warm up. Reheat the bean mixture.
  • To serve, put 1-2 heaped tbsp of beans on a tortilla. Top with a big spoonful of guacamole and some salsa, hot sauce and a dollop of soured cream or yogurt.

SPICY BEAN TACOS



Spicy Bean Tacos image

Provided by Damaris Phillips

Categories     main-dish

Time 9h35m

Yield 6 servings (12 tacos)

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 cups dried pinto beans
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, finely diced
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 dried guajillo chile
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup grated sharp Cheddar
1 cup fire-roasted tomatoes
1 1/2 cups shredded green cabbage
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Juice of 1 lime (about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 crunchy taco shells or warm corn tortillas, store-bought or homemade, recipe follows
2 avocados, sliced
1/2 cup Mexican sour cream (crema)
12 ounces fresh masa

Steps:

  • For the spicy pinto beans: Soak the pinto beans in water to cover overnight. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large enameled Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion and pepper and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add the beans, cumin, paprika, guajillo chile, cayenne if using and enough water to just cover the beans and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover with the lid slightly ajar. Cook until just tender, about 1 hour, checking the water level every so often and adding more water if the mixture dries out. Stir in 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
  • Add the flour and butter to a small cast-iron skillet and stir to create a paste. Cook over medium-low heat until the paste forms a golden roux, about 3 minutes.
  • Remove the guajillo chile from the beans, stir in the roux and bring back to a simmer. Add the cheese and tomatoes, then continue to cook until the mixture thickens slightly, 5 to 10 minutes more. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • For the cabbage: In a small bowl, combine the cabbage, cilantro and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
  • For the tacos: To each taco shell or tortilla, add 3 to 4 tablespoons of the spicy bean filling and some avocado slices and cabbage. Drizzle with 1 to 2 teaspoons Mexican sour cream. Serve immediately.
  • Roll the masa into twelve 1-ounce balls; cover them with damp paper towels.
  • Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Line a tortilla press with a piece of plastic wrap or a self-sealing bag that has been cut so that only the bottom is still attached. Put one of the dough balls slightly off center in the press and close to flatten. Carefully peel the tortilla from the plastic.
  • Cook in 30-second increments, turning a few times, until warmed through and lightly toasted. Keep warm wrapped in clean kitchen towels and repeat with the remaining masa, stacking and rewrapping the tortillas so that they steam and stay pliable.

BLACK BEAN TACOS WITH AVOCADO AND SPICY ONIONS



Black Bean Tacos With Avocado and Spicy Onions image

Spicy pickled onions add brightness and tang to these hearty black bean tacos. The filling is a bit like chili but without the tomato, and perfect to wrap up in a tortilla. You can make the black beans up to 5 days ahead; they even freeze well. Then just warm them up, along with the tortillas, right before serving. The spicy onions will last for weeks in the fridge. Use them on everything: soups, salads, even grilled cheese sandwiches.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 lime
1 small red onion or large shallot, thinly sliced
1 jalapeño, seeded and thinly sliced
Large pinch of fine sea salt
Small pinch of granulated sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more as needed
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 cup diced red or green bell pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
Fine sea salt
Corn tortillas, warmed
1 avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced
Fresh cilantro, salsa and sour cream, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the spicy onions: Squeeze the lime into a bowl and add the onion or shallot, jalapeño, salt and sugar to the juice. Set aside while you make the black beans.
  • Prepare the beans: Heat a large skillet, then add 2 tablespoons oil. When oil is hot, add the onion and bell pepper and sauté until soft and golden, about 10 minutes. If the pan looks dry, drizzle in a little more oil.
  • Add the garlic and jalapeño and sauté until fragrant, 1 minute. Stir in tomato paste, chili powder, oregano and cumin, and sauté until fragrant. Add the beans and a few large pinches of salt and let simmer until the flavors meld, about 15 minutes.
  • Taste and add more salt, chili powder and oregano to taste. Serve beans with tortillas and avocado and top with the pickled onions and jalapeño and some of their liquid, adding any of the garnishes you like.

Tips:

  • To save time, use canned or pre-cooked beans instead of dried beans. You can also use a slow cooker to cook the beans overnight.
  • If you don't have taco seasoning, you can make your own by combining chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
  • To make the tacos even more flavorful, marinate the chicken or beef in a mixture of olive oil, lime juice, and spices before cooking.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as cheddar, pepper jack, or Monterey Jack.
  • If you like your tacos extra spicy, add a dollop of hot sauce or salsa to each one.

Conclusion:

These spicy bean and cheese soft tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. They are packed with protein, fiber, and flavor, and they can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give these tacos a try!
