Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ large onion , diced* (buy pre-diced onions)
  • teaspoons chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt , plus more as needed
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed*
  • ¼ cup water
  • 8 gluten-free corn tortillas
  • 1 bag cabbage slaw or shredded cabbage*
  • 1 medium avocado , sliced
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican style cheese , optional*
  • Jarred salsa*
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until simmering. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in chili powder, cumin, and salt. Add beans and water.
  • Cover pan and reduce heat to maintain a low simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, then uncover and use the back of a fork to partially mash the beans, leaving some whole. Simmer, uncovered, until all the water is evaporated, about 30 seconds. Taste and adjust seasoning, as needed.
  • Cover tortillas with a damp paper towel and microwave in 30-second intervals until warm.
  • Fill the tortillas with the black bean mixture and top with slaw or cabbage, avocado, cheese (if using), and salsa. Serve with lime wedges.
