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!
