Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 8 soft taco shells, I used flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheese of choice I used mozzarella
  • 1 can of black beans drained and rinsed (15 oz)
  • 1 cup walnuts finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeno diced
  • 1 tomato diced
  • 1/2 red onion finely diced
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt plus more to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Olive oil

Serve with

  • Avocado
  • Hot sauce or salsa
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Sour cream or greek yogurt

Directions

  1. Heat a skillet on medium heat and drizzle in about 2 tbsp of olive oil.
  2. Add in the diced onion, jalapeno and tomato and saute together for about 7-8 minutes.
  3. Once the veggies have softened, add in the black beans, chopped walnuts and spices. Cook the mixture together on a medium flame for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust salt as needed.
  4. Fill about 8 soft-shell tacos with the filling on one side, top with a layer of shredded cheese and fold the tacos down.
  5. Heat your pan on medium/high heat with a little cooking spray or olive oil. Place the tacos in small batches into the pan to crisp. Cook for about 2 minutes, then flip for another 2 minutes until browned.
  6. Serve with diced avocado, sour cream/yogurt, salsa or hot sauce.
