Crispy Black Bean Tacos

Step 1

In a medium size saucepan add the black beans, spices and crushed tomatoes. Cook over medium low heat stirring until heated through.

Step 2

Mash some of the beans by pressing against the side of the pot with your spoon. This will make a thick mixture.

Step 3

Heat avocado oil in a medium to large size skillet, use just enough oil to cover the entire bottom of the skillet.

Step 4

Lay a corn tortilla in the skillet and spread approximately 2-3 tablespoons of bean mixture on half of the tortilla, top with shredded cheese and a shake or two of hot sauce if desired.

Step 5

Fold the tortilla in half using fork or spatula.

Step 6

Continue to fry until the bottom of the tortilla is crisp and golden. Then flip and fry the other side until crisp and golden.

Step 7

Remove taco to plate lined with paper towel.

Step 8

Serve with favorite toppings: sour cream, guacamole, or pico de gallo
