The method

Step by step

1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat.
About 1 min
2
Add yellow onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
About 6 min
3
Stir in garlic, chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
About 1 min
4
Add black beans and vegetable broth to the skillet. Bring to a simmer.
About 3 min
5
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, mashing some of the beans with the back of a spoon to create a slightly creamy texture.
About 6 min
Cook’s note: Mashing some beans helps them stick together better in the taco.
6
Remove from heat and stir in lime juice and salt. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
About 1 min
7
Warm the corn tortillas according to package directions, either in a dry skillet, microwave, or oven.
About 3 min
Cook’s note: Warming tortillas makes them more pliable and prevents them from breaking.
8
Fill each warm tortilla with the black bean mixture.
9
Top with diced avocado, chopped fresh cilantro, and thinly sliced red onion, if using.
