Instructions
- 01
Blend all ingredients in the cilantro lime sauce until smooth-ish. Set aside.
- 02
In a food processor or chopper, blend the beans, salsa, and taco seasoning. Transfer to a skillet with a drizzle of oil and cook it up long enough to soften the flavors of the garlic and / or onions in the salsa. About 5 minutes is fine.
- 03
Spread a few tablespoons of black bean filling into a flour tortilla. Fold in half. Repeat until the filling is used up (about 6-8 tacos).
- 04
Heat some oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry in a skillet over medium heat, until crispy and golden brown. Dip in cilantro lime sauce. Serve with chips and salsa and a mid-week margarita. You’re welcome.

Variations & swaps
Variations and Add-Ins
- Of course, you have options if you want to go above and beyond!
- Cheese: Would a handful of delicious Mexican cheese tucked into that little black bean crispy be real nice? Yes, it would.
- Veggies: Fajita veggies like peppers and onions would be excellent here.
- Meat: Add some shredded chicken or cooked ground beef.
- Dips and Sauces: If you want to make the cilantro lime dipping sauce, it is very doable and I included the directions for you and it will take you all of five minutes. But, you could also go with sour cream or storebought guacamole and be in business!
- But if you’re short on… everything (and believe me, I pretty much LIVE in that house), I pinky promise that you can skip the suggestions aboe. Black bean filling is super satisfying as-is, and it’s how I always eat these! Just plain.
- Pro Tip: If time is tight, in place of the cilantro lime sauce, you can just mix some additional taco seasoning in with a little bowl of sour cream, and voilà. You have “seasoned sour cream” which, at least in my house, always goes over VERY well with the family dinner crowd.
