Taco filling

Method

Taco filling

  1. 1

    Sauté aromatics

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add garlic

    Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add beans and corn

    Stir in black beans and corn kernels to combine with the aromatics.

  4. 4

    Season and simmer

    Add cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook 3-5 minutes, mashing gently with a spoon to break beans a bit for texture.

  5. 5

    Finish filling

    Remove from heat, stir in fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro. Taste and adjust salt if needed.

Tortillas and assembly

  1. 6

    Warm tortillas

    Warm corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until pliable, about 20-30 seconds per side.

  2. 7

    Prepare toppings

    Slice avocado and chop cilantro if desired. Set aside shredded cabbage and lime wedges.

  3. 8

    Assemble tacos

    Spoon generous spoonfuls of filling into each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, avocado slices, cilantro leaves, and a squeeze of lime. Add salsa if desired.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Serve immediately while warm. Optional: serve with extra lime wedges on the side.
