Spicy Black Bean Tacos Flavorful and Easy Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- to taste salt and pepper
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- for garnish fresh cilantro
- for garnish sliced radishes
Instructions
- In a medium-sized skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the black beans, ground cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the beans to heat through and become slightly mushy, then mash half of the beans with a fork to create a thicker mixture.
- While the beans are cooking, make the avocado lime cream. In a small bowl, mash the avocado, then mix in Greek yogurt and lime juice until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt.
- Heat the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until warm and pliable.
- Assemble the tacos by placing a generous scoop of the spicy black bean mixture onto each tortilla. Drizzle with avocado lime cream and top with fresh cilantro and sliced radishes.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
