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!

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.

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.
