Ingredients
Scale
For the Tacos
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
- ¼ yellow onion, diced
- ½ yellow bell pepper, diced
- ½ small zucchini, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1 (15 oz) can low sodium black beans, rinsed, drained, and mashed
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1-2 tablespoons water, plus more as needed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 (6-inch) flour tortillas
For the Cilantro Lime Sauce
- ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt
- Juice of ½ lime
- Handful fresh cilantro
- Sea salt, to taste
- Splash of water, as needed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and brush a large baking sheet with olive oil, set aside. Take the tortillas out of the fridge so they come to room temperature.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and sauté until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the zucchini and tomatoes and cook 3 to 4 more minutes.
- Stir in the mashed black beans, taco seasoning, and water. Cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes, adding more water if the filling is too thick.
- Spoon the filling onto half of each tortilla, top with cheese, and fold. Place on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with olive oil. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until golden and crispy.
- While they bake, add the Greek yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and a splash of water to a mini food processor or small blender and blend until smooth.
- Serve the baked black bean tacos warm with the cilantro lime sauce for dipping or drizzling.
Notes
- No need to flip the tacos. The oiled pan crisps up the bottoms.
- Store leftover tacos and sauce separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer until crispy again.
