Black Bean Tacos with Avocado CilantroLime Sauce

These are a play off my Black Bean Lentil Tacos that we love so much, but made evenfaster since there are no lentils to cook! And since I'm always trying to find an excuse tomake my creamy cilantrolime dressing, I did a variation of it to drizzle on top. I love

super fast, easy meals packed with flavor, and these definitely fit the bill. The black beanmixture is made in 5 minutes with just black beans, salsa, and cumin. Simple, yet

bursting with flavor. If you have a few extra minutes, you can even saute some dicedonion and minced garlic in the pan before adding the black beans. Or if you like a smoky

kick, chipotle is great!

Tip: we've also made these tacos even faster without the cilantrolime sauce, usingtomatoes and avocado as the toppings. Dinner ready in under 10 minutes? Whoop!

Can't beat that!

This was great!. Next time I think I'll serve over rice with lettuce and adda bit to the cilantro lime mix. There wasn't quite enough, but doubling is probably toomuch.

Thanks for the recipe. My sister is coming over to visit, so I need to find some food thatshe would like to eat. She's vegan, so this seems like a recipe that she would like. Blackbean tacos with avocado cilantrolime sauce sounds amazing. My sister is an avocadoconnoisseur, so I'm sure that she would gobble up these tacos for dinner.http://eldoradoak.com
