🌮 Spicy Black Bean Tacos

📝 Ingredients

(Makes 2–3 tacos)

• 1/2 can black beans, drained and rinsed

• 1/2 tsp olive oil

• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

• 1/4 tsp cumin

• 1/4 tsp chili powder (or more if you like it hot!)

• Pinch of salt & black pepper

• 2–3 small corn or flour tortillas

• Optional toppings: avocado slices, chopped tomatoes, shredded lettuce, lime wedges, hot sauce, or vegan sour cream

👩‍🍳 Directions

1. Heat the beans:
   In a small pan over medium heat, sauté the black beans with olive oil and all the spices. Cook for 5–7 minutes, lightly mashing some beans as you stir. Add a splash of water if it gets too thick.

2. Warm your tortillas:
   Heat them in a dry skillet or microwave until soft.

3. Assemble your tacos:
   Spoon the spicy black bean filling into each tortilla. Load up with toppings—get colorful with it!

4. Serve & squeeze:
   Finish with a squeeze of lime juice and maybe a drizzle of hot sauce if you're feelin' bold.
