BLACK BEAN TACOS WITH CORN SALSA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. In a food processor, chop garlic. Add beans, oats, cornmeal, chili powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; process, stopping once or twice to scrape down sides, until mixture is combined, 1 minute. Crumble bean mixture with hands, sprinkle on prepared sheet, and coat with cooking spray. Bake until firm and crisp on bottom, 10 to 15 minutes. Use a spoon to break up pieces, coat with cooking spray, and bake until crisp all over, 10 to 15 minutes. Stack tortillas and wrap in foil; warm in oven 5 minutes. In a bowl, combine corn, bell pepper, chile, scallions and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; sprinkle with lime juice. Divide bean crumble among tortillas; top with corn salsa and cilantro.

SPICY BLACK BEAN AND CORN TACOS

Steps:

• Toast hazelnuts and pumpkin seeds in a medium skillet over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 8-10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, slice corn off cobs into a large bowl (you should have about 2 cups kernels). Add toasted nuts and seeds, jalapeño, red pepper, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1/4 cup oil, 3 Tbsp. lime juice, and 1/2 tsp. salt; toss to combine.
• Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a medium skillet over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring, until onion starts to release moisture and turns translucent, 4-5 minutes. Add beans, cumin, 1/3 cup water, and remaining 3/4 tsp. salt. Cover and cook until liquid is reduced and beans soften, about 5 minutes. Uncover, add 1/3 cup water, and use the back of a fork to mash up about half of beans.
• Working one at a time, warm tortillas with tongs directly over a gas burner over medium heat, turning often, until lightly charred and puffed in spots, about 45 seconds per side. (Alternatively, wrap tortillas in foil and heat in a 350°F oven until warmed through, or wrap in damp paper towels and microwave in 20-second bursts until warm.) Transfer to a plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm.
• Whisk sour cream and remaining 2 Tbsp. lime juice in a small bowl. Fill tortillas with bean mixture, then top with corn salsa, avocado, and cilantro leaves. Drizzle with sour cream mixture and serve with lime wedges alongside.
• Do Ahead
• Corn salsa and beans can be made 3 days ahead; store separately, cover, and chill. Bring corn salsa to room temperature. Reheat beans in skillet before serving.

RADISH SALSA RECIPE

Steps:

• Thinly slice and quarter the radishes. Thinly slice the green onions. Seed and dice the jalapeño pepper (taking the necessary precautions to keep the juice away from the eyes). Use 1/2 pepper for a mild salsa, and more for a spicier variation. Chop the cilantro. Mix the cilantro with radishes, green onions, jalapeño pepper, lime juice, olive oil, kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper. (*Note: The radish salsa can become watery as it sits, so it's best served about 10 minutes after preparation. Use a slotted spoon when serving the salsa to strain out any additional liquid.)
• Mince the garlic. In a medium pot, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and barely starting to brown. Add the black beans along with the can liquid (add 1/4 cup water if using beans without liquid), several sprigs of cilantro, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer 15 minutes until the liquid condenses.
• If desired, char the tortillas by placing them on an open gas flame on medium for a few seconds per side, flipping with tongs, until they are slightly blackened and warm. (See How to Warm Tortillas.)
• To serve, place the beans in the middle of a tortilla, top with radish salsa, feta cheese crumbles, and cilantro.

BLACK BEAN AND SWEET CORN TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat and saute the red onion and garlic until softened, around 5 minutes. Add the cumin and cook for another minute. Drain the beans into a colander and rinse under cold water. Add to the pan and stir to combine with the other ingredients. Using a potato masher roughly mash the beans to bind them with the onions and garlic, but not too much, so you still retain some of the bean texture.
• Place the taco shells on a foil-lined baking sheet and put them in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes to warm.
• Meanwhile make the salad. Put all of the chopped and diced salad ingredients into a bowl. In a small bowl, mix together the mayo, lime juice and salt, using a fork. Pour over the salad and toss gently making sure everything is lightly coated in the dressing.
• When the taco shells are warm, remove them from the oven.
• Divide the bean mix evenly among the 4 tacos, top each one with a couple of slices of pickled jalapeno, a quarter of the sweet corn and a quarter of the salad and garnish with cilantro leaves. Devour.
