Black Bean Tacos? Oh yeah!

We were at our amazing Carly's last week and she shared with me her chipotle sauce recipe. Now I'm going to share it with you along with a delicious idea for black bean tacos. 

You lucky thing you.


Okay. The new favorite at our house: Black Bean Tacos.

Carly's sauce is made with a hot sauce called Bufalo Salsa Chipotle. It's only $1.25 at my store. If you can't find Bufalo, buy another chipotle sauce and I'm sure it will work perfectly well.It's a very free form recipe. I used approximately 4.25 part hot sauce, 4.25 part yogurt and a tad bit, about 1.5 part mayo. Make it to your taste.

I found these wonderful tortillas made by a Santa Rosa (local) company called La Tortilla Company. I buy their Hand Made Style corn tortillas. Of course any corn tortillas will work.

Prep the condiments. Clean and dry some cilantro, slice some radishes, carrots and cabbage. I used Napa cabbage as it has a milder favor. Slice the avocados and limes as well.

Open a can or two of black beans and rinse them. Put them in a frying pan over medium heat and smash them with a potato masher. Add some salt, garlic powder and cumin and heat all the way through stirring often.

I heat the tortillas by putting them on a plate with damp paper towels between each tortilla and covering the top. You can fry and drain them if you'd rather. 

Once the tortillas are warm and the beans are done, put your tacos together.
Tortilla, sauce, beans and veggies. Squirt with a little lime juice and behold a taste of heaven!

Later gators.
I gotta go eat.
