• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

1 (14-ounce) can of black beans, rinsed and drained

1/4 cup of your favorite salsa

1 tablespoon taco seasoning

6-8 small flour tortillas

1/4 – 1/2 cup olive oil or butter for frying

1/4 cup avocado oil

1/4 cup water

1/2 cup chopped green onions

1/2 cup cilantro leaves

2 cloves garlic

1/2 teaspoon salt

juice of 2 limes

1/2 cup sour cream (sub avocado to keep it dairy free / vegan)

Directions

Blend all ingredients in the cilantro lime sauce until smooth-ish. Set aside.

In a food processor or chopper, blend the beans, salsa, and taco seasoning. Transfer to a skillet with a drizzle of oil and cook it up long enough to soften the flavors of the garlic and / or onions in the salsa. About 5 minutes is fine.

Spread a few tablespoons of black bean filling into a flour tortilla. Fold in half. Repeat until the filling is used up (about 6-8 tacos).

Heat some oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry in a skillet over medium heat, until crispy and golden brown. Dip in cilantro lime sauce. Serve with chips and salsa and a mid-week margarita. You’re welcome.
