Black Bean Tacos

How to make Black Bean Tacos

Ingredients

½ medium White Onion, diced

Avocado or Olive Oil for cooking

1 tsp Paprika

½ tsp Oregano

½ tsp Thyme

4 Garlic cloves, freshly minced

2 cans Black Beans, drained and rinsed

2 chipotle peppers from a can of adobo sauce, minced

½ cup Vegetable broth

8 to 10 Tortillas, flour

Cilantro Lime Sauce for Serving

Sliced or wedged Lime for serving

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425*

Brush Oil on a large baking tray with sides

In a skillet over medium high heat, add the oil in the pan and toss in the onions

When onions have softened, stir in the garlic

Add in the remainder of the spices and stir to combine

Add in the Black Beans and the Chipotle Peppers and stir to combine, cook for 3 to 5 minutes

Pour in the broth and using a masher, smash the beans slightly, just until the mixture begins to bind together, if it is still loose and liquidy, cook longer

Meantime Wrap the Tortillas in a damp dish towel and microwave for up to 30 seconds

Place a tortilla on the oiled tray, flip to oil both sides

Spoon some Black bean filling( about 2 to 3 tbsp) on half and fold the tortilla over

Repeat with all of the Tortillas

Place the tortillas in a single layer on the tray.

To be sure the tortilla remains folded place the side with the bean mixture on the top

When you flip the Tacos, the taco will remain folded

Bake for 8 minutes on the first side, then flip

Bake for an additional 8 minutes on the second side

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly, this will crisp them even more

Serve with Cilantro Lime sauce and lime wedges

Enjoy!
