    Fast and easy! Used one can of black beans so I crumbled up some tofu to bulk it up.

    The bean filling seemed to be missing some acidity, so I added lime juice and that perked it up. I didn't make the cilantro pesto, so that may have been the element that was missing for me. Overall, these were good tacos that I added salsa and other taco toppings to for added texture.

    Both my husband and I enjoyed these enough to make again. I used canned black beans and agree a jalapeño in the beans would be good. I agree with the other reviewers that the dish needs more acid. Instead of upping the acidity of the cilantro sauce I opened a jar of pickled onions, really a nice addition to the tacos. Her first cookbook has a black bean burrito recipe I have made so often the spine of the book is cracked and it opens to that page. I always have home canned pickled onions, but her other recipe works well for a quick pickle. I subbed sweet potatoes for the squash and agree hard shells are the way to go here for the contrast in texture.

    Used Rancho Gordo Midnight Black beans and their liquid. Good sweet, salty combo with the cilantro sauce (agree with Emily that a touch more acid to balance the oil is key). Would personally like a bit more heat in the beans so mince up a jalapeno next time. Also #teamhardshell for the added texture!

    Made these a while back with some RG black beans (Chiapas I think?). I thought that they needed a bit more oomph, but were surprisingly enjoyed by almost every family member. The cilantro sauce is key--I needed to add quite a bit more acid to it. Also added a fresh salsa and some avocado. Might make again? May try sweet potatoes next time.
