Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced yellow onion and red bell pepper, and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the rinsed and drained black beans, cumin powder, and chili powder. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce slightly and the flavors to meld.
Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Lightly mash about half of the beans with the back of a spoon for a creamier texture, leaving some whole for texture.
Warm the corn tortillas according to package directions (microwave, dry skillet, or oven).
Assemble the tacos: Spoon the black bean filling into the warm tortillas. Top with store-bought salsa, sliced avocado, and chopped fresh cilantro.
