Black Bean Taco Bowls

A refreshing no-cook meal for busy days.

Ingredients

  • 5 tbsp sour cream
  • ⅛ tsp lime zest
  • 3 tbsp lime juice, divided
  • 1 tbsp water
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced, plus garnishing
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • 1 (15oz) can black beans, rinsed
  • 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 4 cups shredded red cabbage
  • 2 cups corn kernels
  • 1 cup chopped roasted red peppers
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
  • ¼ cup chopped pickled jalapeños
  • 4 oz tortilla chips

Steps

  1. To make cream: Whisk 5 tablespoons sour cream, ⅛ teaspoon lime zest and 1 tablespoon lime juice together in a small bowl until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon water; whisk to combine.
  2. To make vinaigrette: Combine ¼ cup oil, the sliced scallions, ⅛ teaspoon salt and the remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice in a large bowl; whisk well. Transfer 2 tablespoons dressing to a medium bowl; add the rinsed beans and toss to coat. Set aside for 5 minutes.
  3. To the large bowl with the remaining dressing, add 4 cups lettuce and 4 cups cabbage toss well. Divide the lettuce mixture among 4 bowls. Top the bowls with the dressed beans, 2 cups corn, the chopped roasted red peppers, ½ cup cheese, ¼ cup red onion and ¼ cup jalapeños. Drizzle with lime crema and, if desired, garnish with more scallions. Serve with 4 ounces tortilla chips on the side.
