Equipment

  • Medium Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 14-ounce can no-salt-added black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup no-salt-added vegetable broth
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Corn Tortillas make sure they are 0mg or low in sodium
  • Toppings I used jalapeno, tomatoes, lettuce, and a low salt queso fresco (see note below!)

Instructions
 

  • In a medium pot, add the drained black beans, vegetable stock, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
  • Stir well, cover and simmer on low heat for 20 minutes.
  • Prep your tacos. Take a corn tortilla, and add a scoop of black beans (I used about 1/4 cup of beans per taco). Add your favorite low sodium taco toppings and enjoy!
  • Store leftover beans in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Notes

Taco Toppings - I used tomatoes, lettuce, jalapeno peppers, cilantro, and found a great low salt cheese - a queso blanco from Tropical brand. I found it at my local box grocery store. You can also add sour cream, chopped red onion, green onion. Any toppings you use will add sodium so be sure to add that amount to the total sodium content of the recipe you make at home. Sodium content will vary based on your ingredients.
