Tips

  • Don t overblend the filling. Use the pulse function instead of continuously blending so your black bean filling still has texture.
  • For the best taco experience, seek out “ready-to-cook tortillas.” They take just 30 to 60 seconds to cook in a frying pan, and the texture and flavor are SO good.
  • I serve these with lime-pickled onions and chipotle crema (recipes are in the blog post), but if you want something quicker, serve with sour cream and your fave store-bought salsa.
  • If you re allergic to nuts, try sunflower seeds - just be sure to roast them first. You may also need to season the filling with more salt or salsa.
  • You can make the black bean filling, as well as the pickled onions and chipotle crema several days in advance and store in the fridge separately. You can even assemble the tacos a day or two ahead of time (wrap them tightly and refrigerate); then bake when ready to eat. The taco filling also freezes great as long as you defrost it before reheating.
