Black Bean Soft Tacos
Serves 5

These soft tacos are great for a quick weeknight dinner. They are vegetarian but still contain a good amount of protein from black beans. Serve these with a salad and you’ve got a complete meal that’s ready in minutes!

    INGREDIENTS:
    1 teaspoon Napa Valley organic olive oil
    1 15-ounce can Westbrae Natural organic black beans, rinsed and drained

    DIRECTIONS:
    – Heat olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add beans, corn, all but 1/4 cup salsa, cumin and chili powder and stir. Cover and cook 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low, uncover and cook 2-4 more minutes.
    – Meanwhile, mash avocado and mix in remaining 1/4 cup salsa and kosher salt.
    – Heat a separate skillet over medium heat to warm the tortillas one at a time, turning once after 15 seconds or heat them all at once wrapped in a damp paper towel in the microwave.
