Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Make Sauce: Blend all ingredients in the cilantro lime sauce until smooth-ish. Set aside.

2. 2

   Make Filling: In a food processor or chopper, blend the beans, salsa, and taco seasoning. Transfer to a skillet with a drizzle of oil and cook it up long enough to soften the flavors of the garlic and / or onions in the salsa. About 5 minutes is fine.

4. 4

   Cook Tacos: Heat some oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry in a skillet over medium heat, until crispy and golden brown. Dip in cilantro lime sauce. Serve with chips and salsa and a mid-week margarita. You’re welcome.
