crispy black bean tacos with avocado-lime sauce

This recipe makes 12 tacos – enough for 6 servings, plus a little extra sauce. If 12 tacos is too many, this recipe is really easy to cut in half. But is there really such a thing as too many tacos?

Ingredients
Crispy Black Bean Tacos:

• 3 cups Best Ever Mexican Black Beans
• 3/4 cups Mexican Cheese Blend
• 12 corn tortillas
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, separated

Avocado Lime Sauce:

• 2 avocados
• 1/2 bunch of cilantro
• 3 limes, juiced
• 1 jalapeno, seeded if desired
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 tablespoons water

Instructions
For the tacos:

1. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add two tortillas to the skillet and allow them to heat in the oil for about 10 seconds.
3. Cover one side of each tortilla with 1/4 cup of beans, and top beans with 1 tablespoon Mexican Cheese Blend.
4. Using a spatula, carefully fold the tortilla in half, on top of itself and press down with the spatula to shape the taco.
5. Cook 3-4 minutes, then using a spatula flip the tacos and cook an additional 3-4 minutes, until lightly browned.
6. Continue the process until all the tacos are done, adding additional oil as the pan dries out.
7. Serve immediately.

For the sauce:

1. Add all ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth.
