Description

These gluten-free chicken and black bean tacos are full of flavor and a cinch to make! 


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 3/4 pound of cooked and shredded chicken
  • 2/3 cups black beans
  • 8 tablespoons shredded cheese
  • 4 teaspoons of taco seasoning, or to taste
  • 2 green onion, chopped (white and green parts)
  • Avocado slices (about 1 avocado)
  • Plain Greek yogurt
  • Salsa
  • Lime slices
  • Shredded lettuce

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Lightly spray with oil (I use Primnal Kitchen’s avocado oil spray) to prevent the tortillas from sticking. 
  3. Lay the tortillas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tips of the tortilla with oil and sprinkle with the taco seasoning. 
  4. Bake the tortillas for about 8 minutes.
  5. Drain and rinse the black beans. Place the beans into a bowl and microwave them until they are warm and softened, about 30-45 seconds. 
  6. Use a fork to roughly mash the beans and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Then add the beans to your prepared tortillas.
  7. Next, add the shredded chicken and cheese. Place back in the oven until the mixture is warmed through and the cheese is just starting to melt. 
  8. Remove from oven and top with avocado slices, shredded lettuce, salsa and green onions. Add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream, if desired.
  9. Adjust seasoning and serve. Each serving is two tacos.
