1
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the black beans and quinoa. Sprinkle cumin powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mixture is heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.
2
In a separate skillet or directly over the flame, toast the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until they are warm and slightly charred.
3
Lay out the warm tortillas on a flat surface. Evenly distribute the black bean and quinoa mixture among the tortillas. Top with slices of avocado, red bell pepper, and shredded red cabbage.
4
Drizzle with vegan sour cream (if using) and sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and your choice of salsa on the side.
5
Serve the tacos immediately while they’re warm. Pair with a refreshing vegan beverage of your choice.
Pro Tips:
- Variety is Key:Â Feel free to get creative with your fillings! Roasted veggies, vegan cheese, or even some grilled tofu can make great additions.
- Spice It Up: If you like your tacos with a kick, add some chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
- Storage:Â If you have leftover fillings, store them separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. They can be reheated and used the next day.
