Black Bean & Mushroom Tacos
This Black Bean & Mushroom Taco filling is the perfect starting point for loaded and flavourful tacos. The black beans are seasoned with garlic, onion, chili, oregano, and cumin, making a perfectly flavourful starting point for any taco. The addition of diced mushrooms creates a great ‘taco meat’ texture. The black beans add tons of healthy protein and fibre to this meal. This Black Bean & Mushroom filling would also be great in fajitas, burritos, or burrito bowls.
I like to serve this taco filling in soft grain-free tortillas. Feel free to top them with whatever your favourite toppings are. Some of my favourite toppings include my Vegan Nacho Cheese Sauce, homemade salsa, guacamole, and cilantro. Mango salsa, green onions, jalapenos, or fresh corn would also be amazing here. Check out my Healthier Vegan Nachos for more topping inspo and my Cashew Sour Cream recipe.
