Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (19 ounce) can black beans
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1 tablespoon chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Cilantro or parsley, chopped (optional)
- Green onions, sliced (optional)
- Dairy-free cheese (optional)
- Diced tomatoes or pico de gallo (optional)
- Avocado slices or guacamole (optional)
- Non-dairy sour cream (optional)
- Pickled red onions (optional)
- Creamy cole slaw (optional)
- Romaine lettuce ribbons (optional)
- Dipping sauces (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F if you want to bake the tacos.
- Drain and rinse the black beans.
- In a food processor, blend the black beans, salsa, taco seasoning, chipotle pepper, garlic powder, and salt, keeping it a little chunky. Stir in chopped cilantro or parsley if desired.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced green onions and a sprinkle of salt. Cook until fragrant. Add the bean filling and cook for 5 minutes, flipping to create a lightly seared crust.
- Take a few tablespoons of the bean filling and scoop it onto one side of a flour tortilla. Top with vegan cheese if using, then fold the tortilla over. Repeat until all filling is used.
- Brush oil on the outside of the tortillas, place them on a baking sheet, and bake for 6-8 minutes. Flip the tacos and cook for another 6-8 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Prepare toppings and dipping sauces while the tacos cook. Assemble and serve immediately with toppings and sauces.
Notes
For extra crispiness, make sure to use enough oil on the outside of the tortillas. Customize the spice level by adjusting the amount of chipotle pepper in the filling.
