Kale Tacos
1 bunch of kale
2 button mushrooms, finely chopped (optional)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 jalapeno chili, seeded and minced
1 – 2 t chili powder
1 t cumin
1 t coriander
2 cups cooked black beans
1 avocado, mashed
Organic corn tortillas
Add kale, mushrooms, garlic, and chili to a medium sauce pan, along with 3/4 cup water. Cover, bring to a boil, then lower heat to medium, and cook 3 – 5 minutes. Add spices and cook until kale is tender. Keep an eye on the water so it doesn’t burn. Add a little more water if needed. Add the black beans and heat through.
Take off the burner and stir in mashed avocado. Salt to taste.
Stuff them in a warmed corn tortilla. Makes 8 – 10 tacos.
April’s note: I love this mixture rolled up in a corn tortilla just the way it is, with no toppings, but they are also wonderful with shredded cabbage or lettuce and fresh vine-ripe tomatoes.
