These tacos are it, people. Black beans are great to use for heartiness in meatless meals, especially if your motive is saving cash. They are so downright cheap. I hope to make meatless dinners that are good, not just good for a meatless meal. And I wanted for nothing the two times (in a row) we ate these. It takes a lot for us to do #meatlessmonday, but for these tacos we do. Your only question now is if you should plan them for meatless monday or taco tuesday.
Also the star right here is just this sauce. Don’t do your next tacos without it, whatever they may be.
Black Bean Tacos with Cilantro Lime Sauce
Serves eight tacos
30 ounces black beans
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
1/2 cup salsa
1 avocado
1 cup cilantro
1/2 cup lime juice
4 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons honey
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 tortillas
1/2 red onion, diced
1 cup corn
Additional cilantro
Additional salsa
In a stand mixer, mash together black beans, taco seasoning, and salsa on high for 1 minute. (I found the whisk attachment worked best.)
Transfer black bean filling to a skillet over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes.
Combine avocado, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, olive oil, honey, and salt in blender.
Assemble tacos with tortillas, black bean filling, red onion, corn, salsa, cilantro, and the cilantro lime sauce.
