Servings 4
Calories 484.9 kcal

Ingredients
  

For the Radish Salsa

  • 12 radishes 1 bunch, about 12 radishes
  • 4 green onions
  • ½ to 1 jalapeño pepper
  • 3 tablespoons cilantro chopped
  • 4 tablespoons lime juice about 2 limes
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

For the Black Bean Tacos

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 15- ounce black beans 1 15 oz can, low sodium (or 1 1/2 cups cooked)
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • cilantro leaves torn, for serving
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 12 corn tortillas small
  • 3/4 cup feta cheese crumbles

Instructions
 

For the radish salsa:

  • Thinly slice and quarter the radishes. Thinly slice the green onions. Seed and dice the jalapeño pepper (be sure to keep the juice away from the eyes). Chop the cilantro.
  • Mix the cilantro with radishes, green onions, jalapeño pepper, lime juice, olive oil, kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper.
  • Note, the radish salsa can become watery as it sits, so it’s best served about 10 minutes after preparation, using a slotted spoon.

For the black beans:

  • Mince the garlic.
  • In a medium pot, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and barely starting to brown.
  • Add the black beans along with the can liquid (add 1/4 cup water if using beans without liquid), several sprigs of cilantro, and 1/4 teaspoon each kosher salt and black pepper.
  • Bring to a boil, then simmer 15 minutes until the liquid condenses.

Char the tortillas:

  • If desired, char the tortillas by placing them on an open gas flame on medium for a few seconds per side, flipping with tongs, until they are slightly blackened and warm.

To serve:

  • Place the beans in the middle of a tortilla, top with radish salsa, feta cheese crumbles, and cilantro.

Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Sweet Potato Fries with Dip

Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Adapted from CookienandKate.com
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Course Side Dish
Servings 4
Calories 264.5 kcal

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes about 3 medium potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Optional spices: freshly ground black pepper cayenne pepper and/or garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 large, rimmed baking sheets with lightly-oiled parchment paper.
  • Wash sweet potatoes and cut them into fry-shaped pieces about 1/4″ wide and 1/4″ thick. Try to cut them into similarly sized pieces so that fries will bake evenly.
    Cut Sweet Potatoes
  • Place fries in large bowl and sprinkle with cornstarch and salt. Toss until the fries are lightly coated in powder. Then drizzle the olive oil over the fries and toss until the fries are evenly coated in oil. If any powdery spots remain, use your fingers to rub visible cornstarch into the fries .
  • Arrange your fries in a single layer in each pan and don’t overcrowd, otherwise they will never crisp up. Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the fries so they can cook on all sides. Rotate pans and swap places on oven racks.
  • Bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the fries are crispy. You’ll know they’re almost done when the surface of the fries change from shiny orange to a more matte, puffed-up texture. Keep a close eye on them.
    Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries
  • Toss the baked fries with seasonings, to taste. Serve warm . If a dipping sauce is desired, see below.

Skillet-Charred Green Beans with Salsa

Skillet-Charred Green Beans with Salsa

Try this easy to prepare green bean salad with a little kick from the salsa. Green beans are a common staple in households across the country. They go by several names, some of the most popular ones being snap beans and string beans. Despite their name, however, they’re not always green. The green bean is a type of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), and it can be yellow or purple, too.  The legumes are full of antioxidants, including vitamin C, flavonols, and quercetin. These antioxidants fight free radicals in the body, which helps to reduce cell damage and may help to lower your risk of certain health conditions.  Adapted from Cooking Light
