Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 red bell pepper (diced)
0.5 red onion (diced)
8 ounce plant-based chorizo (crumbled)
15 ounce black beans (rinsed and drained)
0.5 teaspoon chili powder
0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
0.25 cup vegetable broth
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper (ground)
8 corn tortillas
1 avocado (sliced)
2 tablespoon fresh cilantro (chopped)
1 lime (cut into wedges)

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 each diced red bell pepper and 0.5 each diced red onion. Sauté until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
Add 8 ounces crumbled plant-based chorizo and cook, breaking it apart, until browned, about 5 minutes.
Stir in 1 can rinsed and drained black beans, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 cup vegetable broth. Simmer for 3-5 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and liquid to reduce slightly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
While the filling simmers, warm 8 each corn tortillas according to package directions (microwave or dry skillet).
Fill warm tortillas with the black bean and chorizo mixture. Top with 1 each sliced avocado and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro. Serve with 1 each lime wedges if desired.
