Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Black Beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 1 cup Salsa (homemade or store-bought)
  • 2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning (adjust for desired heat)
  • 1 tablespoon Chipotle Pepper in Adobo Sauce (or sriracha as substitute)
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (adjust for stronger flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (or avocado oil)
  • 2 tablespoons Green Onions (chopped, optional)
  • 1 cup Cilantro or Parsley (optional)
  • 1 cup Non-Dairy Cheese (vegan option)
  • 1 cup Diced Tomatoes (fresh)
  • 1 medium Avocado (sliced or as guacamole)
  • 1/2 cup Non-Dairy Sour Cream (vegan option)
  • 1/4 cup Pickled Red Onions
  • 1 cup Coleslaw
  • 1 cup Romaine Lettuce (shredded)
  • Various Dipping Sauces (to taste)
  • Tortillas (quantity per taco)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450ºF if choosing the oven-baked method for cooking the tacos.
  2. Drain and rinse the black beans thoroughly. In a blender or food processor, combine the black beans, salsa, taco seasoning, chipotle pepper, garlic powder, and salt. Blend until the mixture is slightly chunky, not completely smooth, to retain texture.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped green onions and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the blended black bean mixture and cook, searing for about 5 minutes to develop flavor and slightly caramelize.
  4. Spoon a few tablespoons of the black bean filling onto one side of each tortilla. Fold the tortilla gently and press to seal the filling inside.
  5. Heat oil in a skillet and fry each side of the tacos for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy, or brush tacos with oil and cook in an air fryer at 400ºF for 5-6 minutes, flipping halfway.
  6. Prepare your toppings such as cilantro or parsley, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado or guacamole, non-dairy cheese and sour cream, pickled red onions, coleslaw, and shredded romaine lettuce.
  7. Serve the crispy black bean tacos hot with your choice of fresh toppings and dipping sauces for an added burst of flavor.
