  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

For the Avocado-Cilantro Sauce:

  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2-4 tablespoons water (for desired consistency)

For the Tacos:

  • 12-16 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce

  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend)
  • Sliced jalapeños (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions:

1. Preparing the Crispy Black Beans:

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Pat dry the rinsed black beans using paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  • In a mixing bowl, toss the black beans with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and salt until evenly coated.
  • Spread the seasoned black beans on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the beans become crispy, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  • Once done, remove from the oven, drizzle with lime juice, and set aside.

2. Making the Avocado-Cilantro Sauce:

  • In a food processor or blender, combine the avocado, cilantro, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
  • Blend until smooth. If needed, add 2-4 tablespoons of water to achieve the desired sauce consistency. Adjust seasoning as per taste.
  • Transfer the sauce to a bowl and set aside.

3. Assembling the Tacos:

  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until they become pliable. Keep them warm by covering with a kitchen towel.
  • To assemble, spoon a generous portion of crispy black beans onto each tortilla.
  • Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, red onion, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
  • Drizzle the avocado-cilantro sauce over the taco filling.
  • Add sliced jalapeños for extra heat if desired and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
  • Serve the crispy black bean tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos before enjoying.

4. Serving Suggestions:

  • These tacos pair wonderfully with a side of Mexican rice or refried beans.
  • For added freshness, serve with a side of pico de gallo or salsa.
  • Garnish with additional toppings like sliced radishes, diced avocado, or a dollop of sour cream.
