    Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

    Ingredients
      

    • – 1 can 400g black beans, drained and rinsed
    • – 6 small corn tortillas
    • – 1 cup shredded red cabbage
    • – 1 ripe avocado sliced
    • – 2 tbsp sour cream
    • – Salt pepper & lime juice to taste (pantry staples, not counted)

    Equipment

    Method
     

    1. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the drained black beans and season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lime juice. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly crispy.
    2. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry pan for 30–40 seconds on each side until soft and lightly charred.
    3. Assemble the tacos: layer shredded red cabbage on each tortilla, followed by the warm black beans.
    4. Top with fresh avocado slices and a small dollop of sour cream.
    5. Finish with an extra squeeze of lime juice and serve immediately.

    Notes

    – Make it spicy: Add a pinch of chili flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce to the beans while cooking.
    – Extra protein: Stir in ½ cup of corn kernels with the black beans.
    – Vegan option: Swap sour cream for coconut yogurt or guacamole.
    – Storage: Black beans can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Assemble tacos fresh for best results.
    – I used this non-stick pan for perfectly crispy beans – makes a huge difference!
