Oven-Baked Crispy Black Bean Tacos
Crispy, flavorful, vegan, and easy to make… these Oven-Baked Crispy Black Bean Tacos will turn any bean hater into a lover! I paired it with my iconic creamy cilantro yogurt dipping sauce for a satisfying lunch.

What are vegan substitutes for yogurt?
Here are a few substitutes for the yogurt in my Creamy Cilantro Yogurt Sauce! I personally love the coconut milk option!!
- Coconut cream
- Coconut milk (mainly the white thick part)
- Silken tofu

Ingredients you’ll need for the Black Bean Taco Filling:
- 1 tbsp. Olive Oil
- 1/2 Yellow Onion, finely chopped, or 4 Shallots
- 3 Garlic Cloves, minced
- 1-2 Jalapeños, chopped and de-seeded
- 2 tbsp. Tomato Paste
- 2 14-oz Black Beans, drained
- 1 tbsp. Taco Seasoning
- Juice of 1 Lime
- 6 large Corn Tortillas
How to make crispy black bean tacos?
- Preheat oven to 450F. Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a skillet over medium high heat, add the olive oil to heat up for 1 minute.
- Add the minced garlic, shallots, and jalapeño peppers. Sauce for 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Add the drained black beans and tomato paste. Stir to combine.
- Add 1 cup water, stir to combine, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer.
- Using a fork, lightly smash the black beans. Add more water as necessary to keep the black beans moist but not liquid-y.
- Add the taco seasoning, lime juice, and salt and black pepper to taste.
- Evenly distribute and spread over the tortillas. Place on the prepared baking pan.
- Brush each tortilla with olive oil.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden brown, flip the tortillas over and bake another 8-10 minutes. Enjoy warm!
