Vegan Black Bean Quinoa Tacos
Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup quinoa
  • 1 (1 ounce) envelope taco seasoning mix
  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 24 corn tortillas
Instructions
1
Begin by heating a generous amount of olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over an intermediate heat setting. Allow the oil to warm up and become fluid, then introduce a sliced or chopped onion into the pan. Continue to cook and gently stir the onion until it has lost its raw, pungent flavor and has turned a translucent hue, typically taking anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes.
2
Next, add the pre-made tomato sauce, followed by a measured amount of water and cooked quinoa. Introduce the taco seasoning blend into the mixture, stirring well to combine all the ingredients. Bring the saucepan's contents to a rolling boil before gradually reducing the heat and covering the pan with a lid. Allow the quinoa mixture to simmer gently, waiting for it to become tender and soft, which should take around 15 minutes.
3
Once the quinoa has reached the desired level of tenderness, introduce a can of black beans into the saucepan. Continue to simmer the mixture until the black beans have heated through and reached a safe internal temperature, approximately 5 minutes more.

Finally, portion out the quinoa-black bean filling into individual tortillas and serve immediately.
