Black Bean Tacos

I love this vegetarian meal. So quick and simple yet very satisfying full of protein and healthy fats! I use a corn tortilla that I lightly fry in olive oil.

Black Beans:
1 can black beans (or two cups home-made black beans)
1 t. salt (less if using can)
1 t. sugar (none if using can)
1 T. cumin or more, in my book you really can't over do cumin.
1 T. chili pepper
1/4 onion--chopped
1 garlic clove--minced

Combine onion and garlic in a frying pan and let cook until onion is translucent. Add beans and spices. Using a fork smash black beans.

Toppings: you can really put whatever you want on top but here's what I do.
-cheese
-red onion & avocado chopped and mixed with a little cilantro.
-lettuce
-salsa or chopped tomatoes

  1. Great recipe! I think I'll make this for dinner tonight. I don't have a pressure cooker, but if I get started on my beans this morning they should be ready by tonight. They sound delicious. Thanks!
