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.

BLACK BEAN AND SWEET CORN TACOS



Black Bean and Sweet Corn Tacos image

Provided by Mary McCartney

Categories     main-dish

Time 10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium red onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
One 15-ounce can black beans
4 corn taco shells
1 baby gem lettuce, roughly chopped
1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
1 cup arugula, roughly chopped
1 Hass avocado, diced
8 cherry tomatoes, quartered
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 lime, juiced
Pinch flaky sea salt
8 slices jarred pickled jalapeno
1/2 cup sweet corn, thawed to room temperature
Handful cilantro leaves, to garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat the oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat and saute the red onion and garlic until softened, around 5 minutes. Add the cumin and cook for another minute. Drain the beans into a colander and rinse under cold water. Add to the pan and stir to combine with the other ingredients. Using a potato masher roughly mash the beans to bind them with the onions and garlic, but not too much, so you still retain some of the bean texture.
  • Place the taco shells on a foil-lined baking sheet and put them in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes to warm.
  • Meanwhile make the salad. Put all of the chopped and diced salad ingredients into a bowl. In a small bowl, mix together the mayo, lime juice and salt, using a fork. Pour over the salad and toss gently making sure everything is lightly coated in the dressing.
  • When the taco shells are warm, remove them from the oven.
  • Divide the bean mix evenly among the 4 tacos, top each one with a couple of slices of pickled jalapeno, a quarter of the sweet corn and a quarter of the salad and garnish with cilantro leaves. Devour.

BLACK BEAN AND POBLANO TACOS



Black Bean and Poblano Tacos image

There are many kinds of tacos, some piled high and overstuffed and some more minimal, meant to be more a snack than a meal. These little tacos are in the second category, similar to what you might find in a Mexican market for a quick bite. Savory black beans and roasted poblano chiles make a satisfying vegetarian version. Fresh soft corn tortillas, hot off the griddle, are essential.

Categories     dinner, lunch, main course

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound black beans, rinsed and soaked 4 to 6 hours, or overnight if possible
1 small onion, halved
1 bay leaf
1 large sprig epazote (optional)
1 teaspoon salt
4 poblano chiles
Soft corn tortillas
1/2 pound fresh mozzarella or Oaxacan-style string cheese, shredded
1/2 pound queso fresco, available in Latino groceries
8 ounces crème fraîche or Mexican crema

Steps:

  • Drain beans, put in medium pot, add water to cover and bring to a boil over hight heat. Add onion, bay leaf, epazote and salt and reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 1 hour, longer if necessary, adding water occasionally if liquid falls below surface of beans. When beans are tender, taste and adjust salt. Keep beans warm in their broth.
  • Meanwhile, roast poblano chiles over a charcoal grill, under the broiler or directly on a gas stovetop burners until skins are completely blackened and blistered. Set chiles aside to cool, then split lengthwise. Scrape away skins and seeds with a paring knife. Cut cleaned chiles into 1/2-inch ribbons, transfer to small bowl and season lightly with salt.
  • To serve, warm the tortillas on a hot griddle or cast iron pan over a burner. Put 2 warm tortillas side by side on a small plate. With a slotted spoon, place 2 tablespoons beans on each tortilla. Top with a few shreds of mozzarella and 2 or 3 strips of poblano. Crumble a little queso fresco and drizzle about 1 teaspoon crème fraîche on each taco.

SPICY BLACK BEAN TACOS



Spicy black bean tacos image

These vegetarian bean tacos, lightly spiced with cumin and smoked paprika, are topped with fresh guacamole and a pomegranate salsa.

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.

Tips:

  • Start with a flavorful base: Use a combination of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and oregano to create a flavorful taco seasoning blend. You can adjust the proportions of each spice to suit your taste preferences.
  • Add some heat: If you like your tacos spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the seasoning blend. You can also use hot paprika or chipotle powder for a smoky flavor.
  • Don't forget the salt and pepper: Salt and pepper are essential for enhancing the flavors of the other spices. Be sure to add them to taste.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Freshly ground spices and dried herbs will give your taco seasoning the best flavor. If you can, avoid using pre-ground spices, as they tend to lose their potency over time.
  • Store your taco seasoning properly: Store your homemade taco seasoning in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It will keep for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Making your own taco seasoning is a great way to control the ingredients and flavors in your tacos. With a few simple spices and pantry staples, you can create a delicious and versatile seasoning blend that can be used in a variety of dishes.
