Black Bean Tacos with Cabbage & Feta Slaw

I actually got this recipe from my friend Erin’s recipe blog a few years ago. My husband loves this dish (score for another vegetarian dish that he likes!) and he always requests it whenever I say “what do you want for dinner?” To be honest…I’ve actually gotten sick of this dish because he wants it ALL THE TIME! Anywho…the black beans are substantial enough that you do not need any meat, but I suppose you could mix them with a little bit of ground turkey or beef. The slaw is where it’s at though! So tangy and crunchy with the lime juice and the cabbage and then salty with the feta cheese…everything’s betta with feta! Plus the best thing about this dish is that there is absolutely no cooking! Just mash the black beans and prepare the slaw and then you’re all set…so simple!

Ingredients

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 TBS. cumin

2 cups shredded cabbage

1/3 cup chopped cilantro

1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese

1 TBS. olive oil

Juice of 1 lime (or more if you like more)

Dash of hot sauce

1. Start by draining and rinsing the black beans and placing them into a bowl. Add in cumin and then mash the black beans together with a fork. (This will take some muscle and some time so be patient! Consider it your after-work workout!)

2. In a separate bowl, mix together the rest of the ingredients and taste to see if it needs more lime juice. We like a little more than a dash of hot sauce also.

3. On a warm tortilla, spread the black bean mixture and then top off with a scoop of the slaw. Then, promptly grab a Corona and enjoy on your porch like we do!
