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

  1. In a medium-sized skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Heat the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until warm and pliable.
  6. 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.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!

💡 Chef's Notes

Serve the tacos on a large platter with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor. Garnish with fresh cilantro for a pop of color!
