Black Bean & Avocado Tacos
These veggie loaded tacos are a great alternative for Meatless Monday, or any day of the week! We added cremini mushrooms for rich flavor and black beans for protein. Our Vegan Ranch brings all the toppings together with that classic ranch flavor!
Serves 4
What you need- Quick Pickled Onion:

What you need- Tacos:

What to do
- Quick Pickle the onion: combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Let stand at least 15 minutes and up to overnight.
- Cook the filling: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon Lemon Garlic over medium high. Add the cremini mushrooms and cook, without tossing, until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in another tablespoon of Lemon Garlic, then the garlic, jalapeno, black beans and cumin, season with salt and pepper. Cook stirring, until heated through. Add another Tablespoon Lemon Garlic and remove from the heat.
- Heat the tortillas: If you have gas burners, char them directly over the flame, using tongs to turn. If you have electric, warm them in a skillet or on a grill pan. Wrap the tortillas in foil or a tea towel as you go to keep them warm.
- Serve tacos with avocado, shredded cabbage, limes, cilantro, and Vegan Ranch.
