Step-by-Step Instructions for Pumpkin and Black Bean Tacos
  1. Begin by heating a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, lay down your tortillas, warming for about 1-2 minutes on each side until soft and pliable.
  2. Remove the warmed tortillas and spread 1-2 tablespoons of refried beans evenly across each tortilla.
  3. Spoon a generous 1-2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree over the refried beans on each tortilla.
  4. Add a handful of shredded cheese on top of the pumpkin puree, covering the filling completely.
  5. Return the assembled tacos to the skillet over medium heat, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until crispy. Flip halfway through.
  6. Remove the tacos from the skillet and serve warm with fresh avocado slices, zesty salsa, and chopped cilantro on the side.
