Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion diced (or two small)
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 30 ounces canned black beans drained and well rinsed
  • 12 corn tortillas

TOPPINGS

  • 4 radishes sliced
  • 1 cup chopped red and green cabbage
  • 11 ounces canned corn drained

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, heat your olive oil.
  • Add in the onion and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Season with the chili powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper, cooking for another 30 seconds.
  • Stir in the black beans. Add the water a little at the time. You are looking to keep the beans from becoming mushy by adding the water, but we aren't making black bean soup. So only add in as much as is necessary. Cook just until the black beans are warmed - about 3 to 5 minutes.
