VEGETARIAN BLACK BEAN TACOS (& MORE RECIPES!)

Steps:

• Drain the beans, but don't rinse them. Mince the garlic. In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not yet browned. Add the beans (drained but not rinsed), cumin, kosher salt, and several grinds of black pepper. Cook 3 to 4 minutes until warmed through and the liquid cooks down and thickens. Taste and add additional salt if desired.
• Review the toppings above and prep them as desired.
• Warm and 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.)
• Place the black beans in the tortillas, then top with toppings and enjoy.
