Black Bean Tacos with Guacamole

The only thing I love more than Mexican food is healthy Mexican food. These all-in-one tacos combine the energy of cooked beans and kale with the raw nutrition of fresh guacamole.

20 min prep, 20 min cook, serves 4

3 tblspns olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tblspns chili powder
1 bunch kale, stemmed and chopped
2 cans black beans, drained
salt to taste
8 tortillas

2 avocados, chopped
1/4 onion, diced
1 medium tomato, diced
handful of cilantro, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 lime, squeezed
salt and pepper to taste

In a large skillet, cook the olive oil, onion, and bell pepper over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another 5 minutes. Add the chili powder and kale and cook 5 minutes. Add the beans and salt. Mash with a potato masher, then scoop into tortillas.

To make the guacamole: in a medium bowl, add the avocado, tomato, onion, handful of cilantro, garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper and mash with a fork.
