1 15-oz can black beans (drained and rinsed)

1 packet taco seasoning

2 Tbsp tomato paste

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C).

Blend: Add 1 medium yellow onion and 2 cloves garlic to a food processor and blitz until broken down. Add in 2 cups walnuts, 1 15-oz can black beans, 1 packet taco seasoning, and 2 Tbsp tomato paste. Pulse just until evenly combined (it's okay if there are still some bigger pieces).

Bake: Spread mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in as thin of a layer as possible. Bake for 15 minutes, then use a spatula to flip everything overn and break up the big chunks. Return to the oven for another 15 minutes. It should be browned and crispy at the edges when finished.

Serve warm anywhere you would use taco meat!
