Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • Optional toppings: salsa, avocado, shredded lettuce, lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Add the rinsed black beans, vegetable broth, chili powder, cumin, and salt to the skillet.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Use a fork or potato masher to lightly mash about half of the beans to create a thicker texture.
  6. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated.
  7. Warm the tortillas according to package directions.
  8. Spoon the black bean mixture into the warm tortillas.
  9. Top with your favorite ingredients and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Jacob suggests adding a pinch of smoked paprika for extra depth of flavor.
  • This recipe is a great base; feel free to add chopped bell peppers with the onion.
  • If you prefer spicier tacos, add a dash of hot sauce during the simmering stage.
