Black Bean Tacos



Ingredients

1 15oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 medium onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1-2 carrots, diced
3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
3/4 cup frozen corn
2-3 Tbsp neutral oil (corn, soy, canola)
1 tsp ground cumin
Ground cayenne or chile to taste
1 tsp ground coriander seed
1/2 tsp Mexican oregano (optional)
Small tortillas, 3-4 per person (usually)
Sour cream for topping (optional)



Preparation

Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, then add spices.
After heating the spices to bloom, add the onion, carrots, pepper, and garlic.
Sauté until the onion is translucent.
Add black beans, corn, and a little water.
Heat to a simmer, then cover and reduce heat.
Once the corn has thawed and cooked through (it should be bright and somewhat soft), the taco filling is ready.
Reduce heat to minimum and keep covered.
Heat tortillas and serve.



Notes

Serves 3-4.
