Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) can black beans (drained and rinsed)
½ cup red onion diced
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
2 Tablespoons cilantro chopped
non stick cooking spray
8 corn tortillas
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 avocado sliced
1 cup salsa
⅔ cup sour cream

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine beans, chopped red onion, cumin, paprika and chopped cilantro.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Place one tortilla at a time on the hot skillet and add about 1/4 cup of bean filling to one half of the tortilla. Top with a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
Use a spatula to carefully fold the tortilla over so it forms a shell. Press down lightly on the tortilla with the spatula so it holds its shape.
Cook each taco for about 3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve with avocado, salsa, sour cream or any toppings you prefer.

Could I use flour tortillas instead? They look delicious, but we don't care for corn tortillas.

Yes, flour tortillas work great too. -The Six Sisters

Seriously love these...we adapt with flour tortillas since we're not huge corn tortilla fans. I made them the 2nd time tonight and my husband raves every time I make them! :)

This looks absolutely delicious and I can't wait to try these. What a great WEEK NIGHT recipe! Your recipes are awesome and love your BLOG, thanks for sharing this one!
Marisa P says:

Would two tacos equal one serving?
Cyd says:

The recipe makes about 8 tacos. So it just depends on how many tacos each person would eat. Our kids each ate 2. Hope this helps.
Robin says:

I made these last night...so good! I used Chi Chi's flour & corn enchilada style tortillas, which worked really well. I enjoyed these so much, I made them for lunch :-)Thanks for a great recipe!
Stephanie says:

I made these tonight and the only changes I made was to use flour tortillas and I used a can of mesquite black beans and a can of regular black beans because that's what I happened to have in the pantry. My family loved them!
Rachel says:

I made these for lunch today. I added some pre-cooked hamburger I had left over from tacos I made earlier this week into my boyfriend's black bean tacos since he is a meat man. I made him try one without the hamburger and one with and he preferred the one with, but I made mine as the recipe lists. They were really good especially with avocado slices. Thanks for sharing!
Megan says:

Just made these and they were amazing!! I added corn to the bean mixture and used jalapeño jack cheese ( from trader joes) instead. SO GOOD! thanks for the recipe
Zenaida says:

Theses were great! Quick and easy!! Thank you!
Sara says:

These are wonderful. Has anyone tried adding any ground beef to this ? Any tips on making ahead? I'm wondering if they can be refrigerated or frozen and reheated ?
Kristin says:

Thanks for another easy and delicious recipe! This stays in our regular rotation around here. :)
