Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon of oil
  • ½ cup yellow onion diced
  • ½ cup mushroom optional, chopped
  • ½ cup corn kernels fresh or frozen
  • ¾ cup black beans cooked (about ½ of a 15-ounce can
  • ⅛ cup nutritional yeast optional
  • black pepper to taste, freshly ground
  • ¼ teaspoon of sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Chili pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • 2 Tablespoons of orange juice
  • 1 package corn tortillas or taco shells
  • ½ cup lettuce fresh
  • 1 tomato diced, ripe
  • 1 avocado thinly sliced (optional)
  • salsa optional, or hot sauce

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the oil and saute onions, mushrooms, fresh corn, and black beans for 4-5 minutes until onion is soft. Add nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, chili pepper, paprika, and orange juice and mash with a potato masher. Set filling aside in a small bowl.
  2. If using soft tortillas, wipe off the skillet and heat corn tortillas on each side.
  3. Fill each tortilla with a bit of lettuce and bean filling. Top with tomatoes and avocado if using. Optionally, top with your favorite salsa or hot sauce.

Notes

  • For crispy black bean tacos: Assemble the tacos (minus the fresh veggies) and press them together, then pan-fry with a little oil (or vegan butter) until crisp. Top with lettuce, tomato, avocado, and salsa.
  • Adjust the bean texture: You choose your desired consistency, between super chunky or very smooth.
  • Tweak the heat: Add as much chili powder as you’d like.
