- Two CANS (15 oz) black beans
- 1 CUP salsa (restaurant-style or other)
- 1 TSP cumin
- Corn tortillas
- Toppings of your choice:

For the sauce:
- 1/2 ripe avocado

- Juice from 1 lime
- 1 CLOVE garlic
- 1 TBSP olive oil
- 1 TSP agave/honey

Directions:
- Make the avocado sauce: in a food processor or blender, add all sauce ingredients and blend. Add a touch of water to thin if necessary, and tweak seasonings as de-sired. Set aside, or refrigerate if making ahead of time.
- In a pan over medium heat, add black beans (rinsed & drained), salsa, and cumin. Heat for about 5 minutes stirring occasionally, until heated through. (Optional: mash beans after heating for a creamier filling.)

- Assemble the tacos: spoon the black bean mixture in the center of the tortillas, drizzle a small amount of avocado sauce over the top, and add your toppings.
