BLACK BEAN TACOS WITH AVOCADO AND SPICY ONIONS



Black Bean Tacos With Avocado and Spicy Onions image

Spicy pickled onions add brightness and tang to these hearty black bean tacos. The filling is a bit like chili but without the tomato, and perfect to wrap up in a tortilla. You can make the black beans up to 5 days ahead; they even freeze well. Then just warm them up, along with the tortillas, right before serving. The spicy onions will last for weeks in the fridge. Use them on everything: soups, salads, even grilled cheese sandwiches.

1 lime
1 small red onion or large shallot, thinly sliced
1 jalapeño, seeded and thinly sliced
Large pinch of fine sea salt
Small pinch of granulated sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more as needed
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 cup diced red or green bell pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
Fine sea salt
Corn tortillas, warmed
1 avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced
Fresh cilantro, salsa and sour cream, for garnish (optional)

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.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup hazelnuts, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds
2 ears of corn, shucked
1 medium jalapeño, seeded, finely chopped
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup chopped cilantro, plus more for serving
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
5 tablespoons fresh lime juice, divided, plus lime wedges for serving
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 red onion, coarsely chopped
2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed, drained
1 tablespoon ground cumin
12 small corn tortillas
1/2 cup sour cream
1 large avocado, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Toast hazelnuts and pumpkin seeds in a medium skillet over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 8-10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, slice corn off cobs into a large bowl (you should have about 2 cups kernels). Add toasted nuts and seeds, jalapeño, red pepper, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1/4 cup oil, 3 Tbsp. lime juice, and 1/2 tsp. salt; toss to combine.
  • Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a medium skillet over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring, until onion starts to release moisture and turns translucent, 4-5 minutes. Add beans, cumin, 1/3 cup water, and remaining 3/4 tsp. salt. Cover and cook until liquid is reduced and beans soften, about 5 minutes. Uncover, add 1/3 cup water, and use the back of a fork to mash up about half of beans.
  • Working one at a time, warm tortillas with tongs directly over a gas burner over medium heat, turning often, until lightly charred and puffed in spots, about 45 seconds per side. (Alternatively, wrap tortillas in foil and heat in a 350°F oven until warmed through, or wrap in damp paper towels and microwave in 20-second bursts until warm.) Transfer to a plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm.
  • Whisk sour cream and remaining 2 Tbsp. lime juice in a small bowl. Fill tortillas with bean mixture, then top with corn salsa, avocado, and cilantro leaves. Drizzle with sour cream mixture and serve with lime wedges alongside.
  • Do Ahead
  • Corn salsa and beans can be made 3 days ahead; store separately, cover, and chill. Bring corn salsa to room temperature. Reheat beans in skillet before serving.

SPICY BLACK BEAN TACOS

These vegetarian bean tacos, lightly spiced with cumin and smoked paprika, are topped with fresh guacamole and a pomegranate salsa.

Provided by Jennifer Joyce

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tbsp vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves, chopped
3 x 400g cans black beans, drained and rinsed
3 tbsp cider vinegar
1 ½ tbsp honey
1 ½ tbsp smoked paprika
1 ½ tbsp ground cumin
1 small garlic clove
2 tbsp roughly chopped coriander
1 green chilli, sliced
2 avocados, halved and stoned
juice 1 lime
110g pack pomegranate seeds
1 green chilli, finely diced
1small white onion, finely diced
small handful fresh coriander, chopped
8-12 corn or flour tortillas
chipotle or other hot sauce
soured cream or coconut yogurt

Steps:

  • In a large frying pan, heat the oil and add the garlic. Fry until golden, then add the beans. Pour in the cider vinegar, honey and spices along with 1 tsp or more of salt, to taste. Cook until warmed through, crushing gently with the back of your wooden spoon, then set aside.
  • The best way to make the guacamole is with a large stone pestle and mortar, but you can use a medium bowl and a flat-ended rolling pin instead. Crush the garlic, coriander and chilli into a rough paste. Scoop in the avocado with a little salt and crush roughly - you want it chunky, not smooth. Squeeze in the lime juice and set aside.
  • Mix the salsa ingredients in a small bowl. Heat a griddle pan or steamer and quickly griddle the tortillas or steam a stack of them to warm up. Reheat the bean mixture.
  • To serve, put 1-2 heaped tbsp of beans on a tortilla. Top with a big spoonful of guacamole and some salsa, hot sauce and a dollop of soured cream or yogurt.

CRISPY BLACK BEAN TACOS WITH AVOCADO CREAM SAUCE RECIPE BY TASTY



Crispy Black Bean Tacos With Avocado Cream Sauce Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: olive oil, medium white onion, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper, black beans, vegan cheese, corn tortillas, ripe avocados, fresh jalapeño, fresh cilantro, lime juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, water

Provided by Mitch & Justine Chapman

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
½ medium white onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon paprika
salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups black beans, cooked
½ cup vegan cheese, grated, optional
8 corn tortillas
2 ripe avocados
1 fresh jalapeño, de-seeded
¾ cup fresh cilantro
4 tablespoons lime juice
3 cloves garlic
¼ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup water

Steps:

  • Filling:
  • Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low. Add in the onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until turning translucent. Add in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Season with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to taste, then remove from heat. Add the cooked black beans to a large mixing bowl and roughly mash them. Stir in the onion mixture and combine well.
  • Tacos:
  • Once the filling is mixed together, add about ½ - 1 more tbsp of oil into the skillet and turn it to medium heat. Add 1-2 corn tortillas in a single layer and cook on the first side for about 10 seconds.
  • Then, scoop about 3-4 tbsp of bean mixture onto one half of each tortilla. You can also add some grated vegan cheese on top if you want. Using a spatula, fold the tortillas in half and press down to shape the tacos. Cook on each side until golden brown, about 1-3 minutes.
  • Continue cooking the tacos following this process until all the bean mixture is gone. Make sure to top up the oil as your pan dries out.
  • Serve these black bean tacos warm with a side of vegan avocado cream sauce (instructions below).
  • For The Avocado Sauce
  • First, slice and de-seed your jalapeño. Then, de-pit the avocados and scoop out the flesh into a high-speed blender or food processor. Add the rest of the ingredients in except the olive oil and water.
  • Blend on high until you achieve a smooth consistency, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Turn back on to low-medium and add in the olive oil slowly.
  • Taste and adjust the seasonings to your preferences. Add jalapeño for more kick, water to thin, lime juice for more tang, or salt to bring out the flavors. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • To make the most flavorful black bean tacos, use a combination of canned and dried black beans. The canned beans provide a creamy texture, while the dried beans add a slightly chewy texture and a more robust flavor.
  • Be sure to rinse the black beans thoroughly before using them. This will help to remove any excess starch and salt.
  • For a more flavorful taco filling, add some chopped fresh cilantro, onion, and garlic to the black beans. You can also add a pinch of chili powder, cumin, and oregano.
  • If you don't have time to make your own pico de gallo, you can use store-bought salsa instead. Just be sure to choose a salsa that is made with fresh ingredients and has a good flavor.
  • To make the tacos even more delicious, serve them with your favorite toppings, such as shredded lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Black bean tacos are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to suit your own taste preferences. Whether you like your tacos mild or spicy, with lots of toppings or just a few, you are sure to find a black bean taco recipe that you will love.
