We’ve made different variations of these healthy black bean tacos for years, especially as part of our Daniel Fast meal plan. For awhile, I served this just as a bean salad, chilled. Then I made it without a couple of the ingredients and served them in whole wheat tortillas. Now, I’ve tweaked them a bit more, and think they taste best served on some Ezekiel sprouted grain tortillas, lightly toasted in an oiled cast iron skillet. Mmmm! Lots of southwestern flavor!
You can get the Ezekiel sprouted grain tortillas on Amazon, but they’re in large multi-packs. Your local grocer store probably has them in the natural foods section’s freezer area.
For the family members that prefer meat, it also works well with a bit of shredded chicken thrown in.
Southwestern Black Bean Tacos
Here’s what you’ll need:
1/3 cup of lime juice
salt and pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cups of frozen corn kernels
2 cans (or about 3 1/2 cups) of black beans
1 ripe avocado, chopped
1/4 green bell pepper, chopped
1/4 red bell pepper, chopped
1 small onion, chopped fine
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
Here’s what to do:
Whisk the first three ingredients (for the dressing) in a small bowl; set aside.
Heat a lightly oiled frying pan over medium high. Lightly toast corn until spotty brown but not charred, about five minutes. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, add the remaining ingredients and the toasted corn. Drizzle with the dressing and mix well. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
In the same skillet that you used to toast the corn, heat about three tablespoons of oil and lightly toast the Ezekiel sprouted grain tortillas
, or tortillas of your choice, one at a time. You may need to add more oil to the skillet as you go.
Spoon the bean mixture over the tortillas and serve.
Enjoy!

thank you for sharing the recipe!
I’m at the end of wk 1 of the Daniel’s fast and needed more recipes so I can shop and prep it for next week! I’ve been doing pretty good on the fast ( just the coffee part has been the hardest! ) I can feel the effects of the little tweeks in my diet and lifestyle so I’m continuing on with hopes of more victories and closer walk with Jesus as this old flesh gets disciplined.
How do I print the recipe? I can’t even seem to cut and paste it into a document. Thanks. Ann
