The Recipe

 2 - 15 oz. cans black beans

1 cup salsa (restaurant-style or other)

1 tsp cumin

Corn tortillas 

Toppings of your choice: lettuce, tomato, onion, roasted red peppers, corn, avocado, cilantro, etc.

For the sauce:

1/2 ripe avocado

3/4 cup cilantro, stems removed

1 Tbsp of nubeleaf Lime Juice Powder 

1 clove garlic

1 Tbsp. olive oil

1 tsp. agave/honey

1/8 tsp. salt

Directions:

1. Make the avocado sauce: in a food processor or blender, add all sauce ingredients and blend. Add a touch of water to thin if necessary, and tweak seasonings as desired. Set aside, or refrigerate if making ahead of time.

2. In a pan over medium heat, add black beans (rinsed and drained), salsa, and cumin. Heat for about 5 minutes stirring occasionally, until heated through. (Optional: mash beans after heating for a creamier filling).

3. While the beans are heating, chop and prepare your toppings. Warm the tortillas if desired.

4. Assemble the tacos: spoon the black bean mixture in the center of the tortillas, drizzle a small amount of avocado sauce over the top, and add your toppings.
Enjoy!
