Black Bean Taco Filling Food

BLACK BEAN TACO FILLING

Steps:

• Add the oil to a medium skillet set over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion and cook until it begins to soften, ~2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Use a potato masher or the back of a fork to mash half the beans (~1 can's worth). Add all the beans along with the corn, spices, salt, and salsa to the skillet, mixing well to ensure that everything is evenly distributed. Cover and let cook for 5 minutes.
• To serve, spoon desired amount of filling into hard or soft taco shells and top with toppings such as: cheese, pico de gallo, diced tomatoes, salsa, guacamole, avocado, shredded lettuce, cilantro, etc. Store any extra in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days and reheat in the microwave before serving.

SPICY BEAN TACOS

Steps:

• For the spicy pinto beans: Soak the pinto beans in water to cover overnight. Drain and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large enameled Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion and pepper and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add the beans, cumin, paprika, guajillo chile, cayenne if using and enough water to just cover the beans and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover with the lid slightly ajar. Cook until just tender, about 1 hour, checking the water level every so often and adding more water if the mixture dries out. Stir in 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
• Add the flour and butter to a small cast-iron skillet and stir to create a paste. Cook over medium-low heat until the paste forms a golden roux, about 3 minutes.
• Remove the guajillo chile from the beans, stir in the roux and bring back to a simmer. Add the cheese and tomatoes, then continue to cook until the mixture thickens slightly, 5 to 10 minutes more. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
• For the cabbage: In a small bowl, combine the cabbage, cilantro and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
• For the tacos: To each taco shell or tortilla, add 3 to 4 tablespoons of the spicy bean filling and some avocado slices and cabbage. Drizzle with 1 to 2 teaspoons Mexican sour cream. Serve immediately.
• Roll the masa into twelve 1-ounce balls; cover them with damp paper towels.
• Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Line a tortilla press with a piece of plastic wrap or a self-sealing bag that has been cut so that only the bottom is still attached. Put one of the dough balls slightly off center in the press and close to flatten. Carefully peel the tortilla from the plastic.
• Cook in 30-second increments, turning a few times, until warmed through and lightly toasted. Keep warm wrapped in clean kitchen towels and repeat with the remaining masa, stacking and rewrapping the tortillas so that they steam and stay pliable.

BEEF AND BLACK BEAN TACO FILLING

Steps:

• Season the ground beef with cumin, chili powder and salt. Brown the beef and drain it. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer until the liquid is gone, about 30 minutes.

BLACK BEAN SOFT TACOS

Garnish with avocado.

SPICY BLACK BEAN TACOS

Steps:

• In a large frying pan, heat the oil and add the garlic. Fry until golden, then add the beans. Pour in the cider vinegar, honey and spices along with 1 tsp or more of salt, to taste. Cook until warmed through, crushing gently with the back of your wooden spoon, then set aside.
• The best way to make the guacamole is with a large stone pestle and mortar, but you can use a medium bowl and a flat-ended rolling pin instead. Crush the garlic, coriander and chilli into a rough paste. Scoop in the avocado with a little salt and crush roughly - you want it chunky, not smooth. Squeeze in the lime juice and set aside.
• Mix the salsa ingredients in a small bowl. Heat a griddle pan or steamer and quickly griddle the tortillas or steam a stack of them to warm up. Reheat the bean mixture.
• To serve, put 1-2 heaped tbsp of beans on a tortilla. Top with a big spoonful of guacamole and some salsa, hot sauce and a dollop of soured cream or yogurt.
