Preparation

2. Then add sea salt, garlic, pinch of oregano, and dried parsley to sauce and blend for another minute or two, until completely smooth. **NOTE: Add additional seasoning to taste.**
3. Add sauce to a small bowl or container and keep in the refrigerator until ready to use.

2. Once heated, add black beans and taco seasoning, mixing together and cooking beans on medium-low until cooked. through, about 8-10 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

To Assemble Tacos:

1. Add 2 tablespoons of black beans atop a charred tortilla, red cabbage, spinach, diced tomatoes, sliced avocados, and top with jalapeños.
2. Repeat until the desired amount of tacos are made.
3. Drizzle a generous amount of Avocado Basil Mango sauce over tacos and enjoy!
