Black bean taco's

What you will need

• tortilla's (i used whole wheat and also chipotle tortillas)
• Sour cream
• lettuce (once again I used spinach instead)
• shredded cheese
• 1 can black beans
• 2 avocado's
• 1 clove garlic
• juice from 1/2 a lime

Taco seasoning 

• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1/8 tsp cocao (I know it sounds weird but trust me)
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper  

simplest part of the recipe... toss ingredients in a jar. VOILA

Salsa

• 3 medium tomatoes diced
• 1/2 mango diced
• 1/4 medium red onion diced
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped.
• 1 jalapeno seeded and minced
• juice of 1 lime
• 1/4 tsp salt

First lets start with the salsa.
dice and seed 3 tomato's and throw them in a bowl then dice half of a mango (I find if you dice the mango into really small pieces it helps mix the flavor better, so when you bight into it you get a little or everything)
next I chopped up the cilantro and squeezed the juice from the lime and tossed in some salt.
Now this part you can do by hand but I find it easier to use a mini food processor. I threw the jalapeno and onion into the food processor so I could get it chopped super fine. There is nothing worse then huge chunks of onion and getting a big bight of raw onion. I also found this helped spread the flavors and bring out the juices a bit. After it is at the desired consistencies throw it in the bowl with everything else and set in the fridge while you get everything else ready.

I opted for diced avocado instead of doing a guacamole this time.

 

(my lovely helpers dicing the avocados)

for the avocado's I had them diced then tossed with some lime juice and minced garlic.

For the black beans.
empty beans out of the can into a strainer and rinse like crazy

 

throw the beans in a frying pan and sprinkle the taco seasoning and stir.
