CRISPY BLACK BEAN TACOS WITH AVOCADO CILANTRO SAUCE
Ingredients:
2 tsp Avocado Oil (divided)
1/2 Yellow Onion (medium, diced)
3 Garlic (clove, minced)
2 tbsp Tomato Paste
1 tbsp Taco Seasoning
2 cups Black Beans (cooked)
Sea Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)
1/4 cup Lime Juice (divided)
12 Corn Tortillas (small)
4 oz Vegan Cheese Shreds
1 Avocado (medium)
1/2 cup Cilantro
1/3 cup Filtered Water
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 450ºF (230ºC).
2. Heat a pan over medium heat. Add half of the oil, then add the onion. Cook for four to five minutes until softened.
3. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the garlic, tomato paste, and taco seasoning. Cook for two to three minutes, stirring often, until fragrant and the tomato paste has deepened in color.
4. Add the black beans and mash into a thick paste, leaving some chunks for texture. Season with salt and pepper, and stir in half of the lime juice.
5. On one side of each tortilla, add some cheese and some of the bean mixture. Fold the other side of the tortilla over the filling, and press down with a spatula.
6. Rub the remaining oil over both sides of the taco, and repeat with the remaining tortillas. Place on a baking sheet, and cook for five minutes per side until crispy and lightly browned.
7. Meanwhile, add the avocado, cilantro, remaining lime juice, and water to a blender. Blend until smooth, and season with salt and pepper.
8. Divide the tacos evenly between plates. Serve with the avocado sauce, and enjoy!
