Black Bean And Avocado Tacos Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mash avocado with garlic, lime juice, and cumin. Season with salt and pepper.
• Toast tortillas over a gas burner, turning, until lightly charred. Divide avocado mixture between tortillas and top with kale, beans, and sunflower seeds. Season with salt.

Steps:

• Make the spicy onions: Squeeze the lime into a bowl and add the onion or shallot, jalapeño, salt and sugar to the juice. Set aside while you make the black beans.
• Prepare the beans: Heat a large skillet, then add 2 tablespoons oil. When oil is hot, add the onion and bell pepper and sauté until soft and golden, about 10 minutes. If the pan looks dry, drizzle in a little more oil.
• Add the garlic and jalapeño and sauté until fragrant, 1 minute. Stir in tomato paste, chili powder, oregano and cumin, and sauté until fragrant. Add the beans and a few large pinches of salt and let simmer until the flavors meld, about 15 minutes.
• Taste and add more salt, chili powder and oregano to taste. Serve beans with tortillas and avocado and top with the pickled onions and jalapeño and some of their liquid, adding any of the garnishes you like.

Steps:

• Drain beans, reserving 1/2 cup of liquid. Rinse beans and drain again.
• Combine beans and reserved liquid in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until simmering. Simmer 4-5 minutes or until heated through. Cover and set aside to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, heat a nonstick griddle over medium heat. Warm each tortilla on the griddle for about 1 minute each side, or until hot but still soft. Place on plate in oven to keep warm. Continue until all the tortillas are heated. Cover plate of tortillas with foil.
• To serve, spoon some beans down center of hot tortilla. Place a few slices of avocado along the beans. Add any other garnishes as desired, such as cheese or lettuce. Top with a tbsp each of sour cream and salsa and a few leaves of cilantro, if desired. Fold up and eat while still hot.
