Ingredients

• 8 crispy taco shells
• 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups shredded lettuce
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1 ripe avocado
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 lime, juiced
• Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add the black beans, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are warm and slightly crispy.
3. While the beans are cooking, prepare the avocado cream. In a small bowl, mash the avocado and mix with sour cream and lime juice until smooth. Set aside.
4. Assemble the tacos: fill each crispy taco shell with a spoonful of seasoned black beans, a handful of shredded lettuce, and diced tomatoes.
5. Top with a dollop of avocado cream and garnish with fresh cilantro.
6. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.

Helpful Tips

• For a vegan option: Replace the sour cream with a plant-based alternative.
• Make it spicier: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a few dashes of hot sauce to the black beans.
• Storage: Store any leftover beans in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Ingredient substitutions: Use any variety of beans you have on hand, such as pinto or kidney beans.

Pairings

Serve these Black Bean Tacos with a side of Mexican rice, refried beans, or a fresh corn salad. A chilled glass of margarita, iced tea, or a refreshing agua fresca will complement the meal perfectly.
