Cripy Black Bean Tacos with Feta and Cabbage Slaw

This easy taco we all loved.  I found the recipe on epicurious , and changed it just a little for my own personal taste.

Ingredients:

3-4 cups black beans drained
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

4 teaspoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
4 cups coleslaw mix
4 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
tortillas (corn or wheat)
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

hot sauce

Directions:

1. Place beans and cumin (and any other seasonings depending on if you use canned beans or made your own) in a small bowl, and partially mash.

2.  Mix olive oil, lime juice, coleslaw, green onions, cilantro and feta and toss to coat.  Season with salt and pepper.

3.  Heat a few teaspoons of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium - high heat.  Add tortillas in a single layer and spoon some of the bean mixture onto half of each tortilla.  Cook for about 1 minute, fold the taco in half and continue to cook 1 or 2 more minutes per side until golden. 

4. Fill tacos with the slaw mixture.

Potato Quesadillas

I got this recipe from http://vegandad.blogspot.com/2012/01/potato-quesadillas-with-homemade-wheat.html . The Vegan Dad has a lot of great recipes.  I changed the recipe a little bit, mostly just so it would be easier.  I used store bought tortillas instead of making homemade ones.  And I used shredded frozen hash browns instead of making my own.

Ingredients:

about 1/2 pounds of shredded frozen hash browns (thawed)
1 8 oz bag shredded Daiya (pepper Jack style), or regular shredded cheese
3 green onions, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 jalapeno, minced
1 handful cilantro, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
tortillas


Directions:

1. Combine ingredients (except tortillas) in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
2. Lightly brush tortilla with oil and cook the quesadillas in a skillet or grill over med to med-high heat until both sides are browned and cheese has melted.


*I love this recipe, it's the type of thing I could eat everyday.  And I am not a fan of fake cheeses, but the Daiya is really great.  I have also found that after I combine all the ingredients, they store great in a Tupperware in the fridge for a few days... that way I can cook myself a fresh quesadilla for lunch.  Yum!
