Method

Prepare Taco Filling

  1. 1

    Sauté Onion and Garlic

    In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add Black Beans and Spices

    Pour in the black beans (drained and rinsed), cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Add lime juice and mix well.

Assemble Tacos

  1. 3

    Warm Tortillas

    In a separate skillet or on a grill, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.

  2. 4

    Fill Tacos

    Place a generous scoop of the black bean filling onto each tortilla. Top with slices of avocado, a spoonful of salsa, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately while warm, with extra lime wedges on the side if desired.
