Two nights ago I made Molly’s Quick Black Beans recipe and fell madly, truly & deeply in love. I seriously could eat the whole batch straight out of the pan. But I have a boy & my man to feed, so I figured I’d do something substantial with them.
We had a Black Bean Taco party! Outside!
The cumin & oregano are wonderful additions to the beans! They become so creamy & tasty!
I started to make some salsa. Decided to put it in a blender. We don’t like chunky salsa here.
It got really foamy and scared me. But it tasted great! I added chunks of avocado.
Here’s the spread! Tacos were just a good excuse to have Coronas!
I thought they would be good as tostadas, but then I saw Casey picking up his and eating it.
So they became tacos! I guess that’s what happens when I’m too busy to supply us with knives. YUM!!!
Thanks for the Black Bean recipe, Molly! Be sure to check it out. It’s a winner!
Oh! My friend Whitney made some too! Check out how she fixed them!

say somethingI love black beans and black bean tacos are genius. Love the hot sauce dribbles and the Coronas. You are awesome!
I wish we could have Coronas together…sigh. xoxox!
i’ve made molly’s yummy beans as a side a few times … now to give them the spotlight!
They deserve the spotlight!
How come up with the most amazing meals with each post! I love tacos soo much and this looks healthy too!
Thank you Jenny!!!
This looks like a perfect weeknight meal to make after a long day. Yum!
thanks! it totally was. The hardest part was cleaning up
You know I love almost everything you do here, but blended salsa? Really? Aside from that, yum. I just made tacos for the first time in my life and am regretting every year that I have been cooking without making them. Mine had grilled veg but there were definitely beans missing. And hot sauce.
Yeah…if the tomatoes are like quality it’s a different story. I just don’t like big chunks of tomatoes falling off a chip when I dip it in salsa. But let’s talk about you now! you JUST made tacos?!!!!! WHAAAAATTTT?????!!!!!!!!
Those look super tasty and that darling polka-dot table cloth is *perfect* for a backyard taco picnic. So fun!
Those look great! Yum!! And I love your cute tablecloth : )))
Thanks Emily! I’m soo stoked I found it at Target this summer! I LOVE IT. It zips up to accommodate my umbrella!
my salsa always gets frothy too! ugh. it still tastes good though, just looks a little weird. i think using a food processor might do the trick?
anyway, these tacos look freakin’ fantastic! and veggie too!
Hi Adrianna! I think it’s because I used a blender. It tasted good but you know…the look of it was kinda weird. I’m gonna try the food processor next time and just pulse it a few times. I think it might turn red after it sits for a bit? I didn’t have enough left in my bowl long enough to find out!
This recipe sounds wonderful! I will have to try those black beans next time! I like how you added the avocado to the salsa. I LOVE avocado but my husband claims he doesn’t… who really knows, though, because he won’t try it. This might help him get over his fear!
