Black Bean Taco Recipe

Who doesn’t love tacos?! Made with delicious vegetables, Mexican spices, black beans and wrapped in corn tortillas, these tacos from Healthy Little Tummies are a homemade favourite. You can end up putting too many toppings on and make a mess but they are just so delicious! You can serve them with guacamole, coriander, corn salsa or mango salsa, cashew cheese or vegan cheese and jalapeños to top.

Ingredients:

2 garlic cloves, crushed

1 onion, diced

2 teaspoons ground paprika powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 red pepper, diced

1 courgette, diced

1 x 420 g black beans, drained and rinsed

1 ear corn

12 corn tortillas

3 tomatoes, finely diced

½ red onion, diced

coriander

juice from 1 lime

salt and pepper, to taste

ADDITIONAL TOPPINGS

avocado, coriander, chilli sauce, cashew cheese or vegan cheese, jalapeños and limes, to serve (optional)

Serves 4

 

Heat a little olive oil, vegetable oil or water in a medium-size pan over a medium heat. Add in the garlic and onion and stir for a few minutes, cooking until the onion is clear. Add in all the spices and stir with the onion.

Add in the diced red pepper and courgette and cook with a lid on for 5 minutes stirring often so as not to stick.

Add the black beans and corn to the pan of vegetables for a few minutes to heat up. Season with salt and pepper.

While the veggies cook, make a tomato salsa (pico de gallo) by combining the finely diced tomatoes, red onion and coriander as well as salt and pepper and lime juice in a bowl.

Heat the corn tortillas and top with the black beans and vegetables, tomato salsa and avocado or vegan cheese and jalapeños if you like.
