Best Soft Black Bean Tacos With Salsa And Cabbage Recipes

EASY BLACK BEAN TACOS

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.

SOFT BLACK BEAN TACOS

Steps:

• Heat the canola oil in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the chile powder and ground cumin. Allow the spices to sizzle for about half a minute, until very fragrant, and stir in the black beans and 1/2 cup water. Cook, stirring and mashing the beans with the back of your spoon, for 10 to15 minutes, until thick and fragrant. From time to time, as a crust develops on the bottom of the pan, stir the crust into the beans. If they seem too dry, add a little more water. Remove from the heat.
• Heat the tortillas, 2 or 3 at a time, in a dry skillet over medium-high heat, or in a microwave. Top with the black beans, about 2 rounded tablespoons for each tortilla. Spoon on some salsa and sprinkle on the cheese. Fold the filled tortillas in half, and serve.

BLACK BEAN TACOS WITH CORN SALSA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. In a food processor, chop garlic. Add beans, oats, cornmeal, chili powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; process, stopping once or twice to scrape down sides, until mixture is combined, 1 minute. Crumble bean mixture with hands, sprinkle on prepared sheet, and coat with cooking spray. Bake until firm and crisp on bottom, 10 to 15 minutes. Use a spoon to break up pieces, coat with cooking spray, and bake until crisp all over, 10 to 15 minutes. Stack tortillas and wrap in foil; warm in oven 5 minutes. In a bowl, combine corn, bell pepper, chile, scallions and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; sprinkle with lime juice. Divide bean crumble among tortillas; top with corn salsa and cilantro.
