Ingredients

Avocado Cream

Jalapenos to taste
½ cup cilantro
1.5 tbsp lime juice juiced
½ avocado
⅓ cup dairy-free yogurt
sea salt flakes to taste

Tacos

1.5 cups cooked black beans
1 cup corn
2 tbsp chipotle in adobo sauce
6 corn tortillas
½ avocado diced
1 cup mango diced
½ cup pickled onions
¼ cup cilantro chopped

Instructions

Blend all the cream ingredients together until smooth. This includes the jalapenos, cilantro, lime juice, avocado, dairy-free yogurt, and a pinch of salt. The result should be a creamy, tangy, and slightly spicy avocado cream.
In a pan over medium heat, add the black beans, corn, and chipotle in adobo sauce. Stir the mixture regularly to ensure that the beans and corn are evenly coated in the sauce and that they heat evenly. Cook this mixture for about 5 minutes.
While the bean mixture is cooking, heat up your corn tortillas. You can do this in a dry skillet over medium heat, or directly over the flame of your stove if you have a gas stove. Be careful not to burn them; you just want them warm and pliable.
Once your tortillas are warmed, you can start assembling your tacos. Spread a generous layer of the avocado cream on each tortilla. This not only adds flavor but also helps to hold the other ingredients in place.
Top the avocado cream with the black bean and corn mixture, diced avocado, mango, pickled onion, and fresh cilantro. Enjoy!
