Smoky Black Bean Tacos

Smoky Black Bean Tacos are a delightful fusion of American BBQ flavors and Mexican cuisine, featuring hearty black beans infused with smoky spices and served in warm tortillas. Topped with fresh avocado and zesty lime, these tacos are both satisfying and refreshing.

Ingredients

• Black beans - 1 can (400g), drained and rinsed
• Smoked paprika - 1 tsp
• Cumin - 1/2 tsp
• Garlic powder - 1/2 tsp
• Onion powder - 1/2 tsp
• Olive oil - 1 tbsp
• Salt - 1/2 tsp
• Black pepper - 1/4 tsp
• Corn tortillas - 4 small
• Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
• Fresh cilantro - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Lime - 1, cut into wedges
• Sliced jalapeños - optional, for garnish

Steps

1. In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add the drained black beans to the skillet and stir in the smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are heated through and slightly thickened.
4. While the beans are cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet over low heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side until pliable.
5. Once the beans are ready, assemble the tacos by placing a generous spoonful of the smoky black bean mixture onto each tortilla.
6. Top each taco with sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, and optional jalapeños.
7. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
