Pumpkin and Black Bean Tacos

Step 1

Scoop pumpkin puree into a medium sized bowl and add in the salt, cumin, smoked paprika, cinnamon and nutmeg.  Stir together until completely combined.

Step 2

I like to heat my corn tortillas in a pan with a little cooking spray to make them a little more flexible so they don’t break too much when trying to fold them over.  You could also heat them in the microwave for a few seconds.

Step 3

Lay tortillas out on a flat surface.  Spread about 1-2 tablespoons refried beans on one side of the tortilla and top with a spoonful of the pumpkin puree.  Spread out in an even layer and top with a small handful of shredded cheese.  Fold the other side of the tortilla over so you have a taco.

Step 4

Heat a large pan over medium heat and spray with cooking spray or add oil.  Place the folded over tacos into the hot pan, I like to do cheese side down so it melts more quickly, and cook until both sides are browned and crispy and cheese is melted, about 4-5 minutes on each side.

Step 5

The tacos can get a little messy, so you may want to let them cool for a few minutes before eating.  Add your favorite toppings and serve with tortilla chips, if desired.
