- avocado oil60 ml
- green onions — chopped4 ea

Method
- Make the cilantro lime sauce: blend the avocado oil, 60 ml (1/4 cup) water, green onions, cilantro, garlic, salt, lime juice and sour cream until smooth-ish. Set aside.
- In a food processor or chopper, blend the beans, salsa and taco seasoning. Transfer to a skillet with a drizzle of oil and cook for about 5 minutes to soften the flavours.
- Spread a few tablespoons of the black bean filling onto a flour tortilla and fold in half. Repeat until the filling is used up (about 6-8 tacos).
- Heat some oil (or butter) in a skillet over medium heat and fry the tacos until crispy and golden brown. Dip in the cilantro lime sauce.
