Description
A delicious and healthy black bean taco recipe topped with fresh guacamole.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium red onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced (about 3 cloves)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 3/4 cup vegetable stock
- 1 14 oz can chopped or diced tomatoes
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
- 2 14 oz cans black beans, drained & rinsed
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 12–16 gluten free corn tortillas (6–8 inches)
- 3 large ripe hass avocado
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup fresh mango, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, loosely packed and stems removed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 jalapeño, diced with seeds removed, optional
- 1/2–1 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
Instructions
- Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 5-7 minutes.
- Add the garlic and tomato paste. Cook another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Add the cumin, smoked paprika, turmeric, and chili flakes. Stir and cook for 1 extra minute. If your skillet is looking dry at this point, add another tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add the vegetable stock, tomatoes, and black beans. Mix until well combined. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 15-20 minutes to let the sauce thicken and reduce down. Stir every so often.
- While the beans are cooking, prep the guacamole: Add the avocado flesh to a small mixing bowl and coat in lime juice. Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the avocado to your desired consistency (I like leaving a few larger chunks).
- Mix in the remaining ingredients until combined. Taste and season with additional salt and lime juice as needed.
- When you’re ready to enjoy, fill each tortilla with about 3-4 tablespoons of the filling and a dollop of guacamole. Top with your favorite taco toppings and enjoy!
Notes
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and lime juice.
