Ingredients
For spicy black beans
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil or your preferred neutral-flavored oil
- 1 cup onion chopped small
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 can (15-ounce) black beans drained and rinsed (1 ½ cups)
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon ancho chili powder
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon coriander
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 Tablespoon lime juice
- ¼ cup water
- Salt to taste
For tacos
- 6 corn taco shells
- 1 large tomato chopped small
- 1 cup romaine lettuce or baby spinach, chopped
- 1 batch guacamole or 2 sliced avocados
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. (If you prefer to warm your taco shells in the air fryer, you can skip this step.)
- Put oil in a skillet and bring to a medium heat. Set aside 2 Tablespoons of the onions to use as a topping. Then add the remaining onions and garlic to the pan. Saute until fragrant and translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Add drained black beans, cumin, ancho chili powder, oregano, coriander, paprika, lime juice, and water to the pan. Use a spatula to fully combine the beans and spices.
- Once the black bean mixture has warmed and any excess liquid has cooked off, add salt to taste.
- Put the corn taco shells in the oven and warm them for 5 minutes. Or warm the taco shells in the air fryer. Tuck the corn shells inside of each other, then put them into the air fryer basket. Heat at 370 degrees for 3 to 4 minutes. Be careful removing them from the air fryer basket. They will be hot.
- Stuff the corn shells with a spoonful of spicy black bean mixture, chopped tomato, romaine lettuce, onion, and guacamole or avocado.

Notes
Store leftover black bean taco mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for 3 or 4 days.
Reheat in the microwave or in a skillet on the stove. If the beans have dried out, add a splash of water.
