Refried Bean Tacos
 
Ingredients
  • 2 15oz. cans pinto beans
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • ¾ cup vegetable stock
  • juice of ½ lime
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 package soft corn tortillas
  • 1 avocado, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 plum tomatoes, diced
  • 1 head lettuce, thinly sliced
  • 8oz shredded cheddar cheese, optional
  • 8oz. sour cream, optional
  • 1 cup salsa
Instructions
  1. Drain and rinse the beans in a colander. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and add the onion. Saute until translucent. Add the garlic and continue to saute until fragrant. Add the cumin and chili powder and saute until toasted and aromatic.
  2. Add the pinto beans and the stock and bring to a simmer. Cook the beans for a few minutes to soften and then mash with a potato masher until the beans are mostly smooth with some chunks of beans. Add the lime and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. For a smoother puree, blend the beans in a food processor or blender until desired consistency is reached.
  3. To serve, heat the tortillas in a dry skillet (for a crispier taco, grease the skillet or for burnt edges, toast over an open flame) and fill with refried beans, sliced avocado, tomatoes, lettuce, cheddar, sour cream and salsa.
