Black Bean Broccoli Tacos
Black bean broccoli tacos are so easy to make and packed with flavor. Ready in 15 minutes and perfect for lunch or dinner as a meatless meal. Add your favorite toppings to make these customizable. Vegan, gluten free, dairy free.
Start by preheating a large skillet over medium heat.
Chop the broccoli florets into bite size pieces. Add them to the skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Cook 3-4 minutes.
After 3-4 minutes, add 1-2 tablespoons of water and cover the skillet. Cook 1 minute. Remove the lid and add 1/2 of the spices.
Rinse and drain the black beans. Add them to the skillet with the broccoli with tomato paste and the rest of the spices. Stir well and cook 1-2 minutes, then turn off the heat.
Thinly slice the cabbage and add it to a large bowl. Finely chop the cilantro.
Add the rest of the cilantro lime slaw ingredients in a small bowl and stir well. Pour over the thinly sliced cabbage and stir well.
Heat up the tortillas by covering them with a wet paper towel and cook for 20 seconds in the microwave.
Assemble the tacos by putting cilantro lime slaw in the taco shells and topping them with black bean broccoli filling. Add any additional toppings you desire and enjoy.
Notes
Top tips
Save time by buying broccoli florets (instead of having to cut the broccoli off the stem) and buy pre-shredded cabbage to make the slaw even faster.
If you do buy broccoli on the stem, don't throw out the stem! You can make it into broccoli rice and use it in salads, stir fries, frittatas or any way you would use cauliflower rice.
Veggies: Tomatoes, Red Onions, Bell Peppers, Roasted Red Peppers, Avocado, Thinly Sliced Radish, Pickled Red Onions, Green Onions
Protein: If you do eat meat, you can add Mexican shredded chicken, taco shrimp or air fryer salmon.
Storage
Fridge: Store the black bean broccoli taco mixture separate from the cilantro lime slaw, both in airtight containers. You can make the broccoli black bean mixture up to 4 days before enjoying. The slaw can be enjoyed up to 3 days, however it will get soggier the longer it sits.
Freezer: You can store the broccoli black bean mixture in freezer up to 2 months in a freezer safe bag or container. I do not recommend freezing the cilantro lime slaw Defrost in the fridge before reheating in the microwave or on the stove.
