Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Add minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
Stir in black beans, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, mashing the beans slightly as they cook.
Heat vegetable oil in a separate pan over medium heat. Fry tortillas, one at a time, until crispy and golden brown. Place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Assemble tacos by spooning the seasoned black bean mixture into the crispy tortillas. Top with cilantro, avocado, salsa, and a squeeze of lime juice.
Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Toppings: Add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, or crumbled queso fresco for extra flavor and crunch.
Spicy Option: Add diced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra heat.
Vegan Option: Already vegan, but you can add dairy-free sour cream for added creaminess.
Baked Tortillas: For a healthier alternative, bake tortillas at 400°F for 8-10 minutes until crispy.
