Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup onion, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 8 small corn or flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce

Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving a few chunks for texture.
Step 2
Add breadcrumbs, egg, diced onion, garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the mashed beans. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Step 3
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape into small patties roughly the size of a taco shell's width.
Step 4
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, cook the black bean patties for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and firm.
Step 5
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat or in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for about 30 seconds.
Step 6
Crumble the cooked black bean patties into bite-sized pieces or leave them whole, depending on your preference.
Step 7
Assemble the tacos by layering crumbled or whole black bean patties onto the tortillas. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, and fresh cilantro.
Step 8
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
