Ingredients

  • 12 oz Sausage

  • 15 oz Black beans
  • 8 Tortilla
  • Cilantro
  • 1 Lime
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • Salt
  • Black pepper

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the vegetables

Finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves. Roughly chop the cilantro leaves.

Step 2

Cook the chorizo

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Remove the chorizo sausage from its casing and crumble it into the skillet. Cook the chorizo, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Add the onion and garlic

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the chorizo. Sauté until the onion is softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the black beans

Drain and rinse the black beans. Add them to the skillet with the chorizo mixture. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook until the beans are heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Warm the tortillas

Wrap the corn tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave for 30 seconds, or until warm and pliable.

Step 6

Assemble the tacos

Divide the chorizo and bean mixture evenly among the warm tortillas. Top each taco with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

Step 7

Serve

Serve the chorizo and bean tacos immediately, enjoying the spicy, savory flavors and the contrast of textures between the soft tortillas and the hearty filling. These tacos are perfect on their own or with your favorite Mexican-inspired sides, such as rice and salsa.
