    From the Test Kitchen

    We’re using monterey jack cheese to create a melty layer on top of warm flour tortillas—the perfect base for our smoky, spicy, and rich veggie filling. To accompany our tacos, we’re serving a side of roasted zucchini topped with fresh lime juice for a bright, tangy lift.

    Black Bean & Caramelized Onion Tacos with Roasted Zucchini
    Title
    • 4 Flour Tortillas
    • 1 15.5-Oz Can Black Beans
    • 1 Lime
    • 1 Tbsp Light Brown Sugar
    • 1 Zucchini
    • 2 tsps Chipotle Chile Paste
    • 3 oz Radishes
    • 2 Tbsps Grated Cotija Cheese
    • ¼ cup Sour Cream
    • 2 oz Monterey Jack Cheese
    • 1 Yellow Onion
    Prepare the ingredients
    1 Prepare the ingredients

    Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut the zucchini into 1/2-inch rounds. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion. Drain and rinse the beans. Grate the monterey jack on the large side of a box grater. Halve the lime crosswise. Halve the radishes lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Place in a bowl; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Stir to coat. In a separate bowl, combine the sour cream and the juice of 1 lime half. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

    2 Roast & dress the zucchini

    Line a sheet pan with foil. Place the zucchini rounds on the foil. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; turn to coat. Arrange in an even layer. Roast 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Leaving the oven on, remove from the oven. Carefully transfer to a bowl; top with the juice of the remaining lime half. Stir to coat. Cover with foil to keep warm. Reserving the sheet pan, discard the foil.

    Meanwhile, in a medium pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced onion and sugar; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes, or until browned and softened. Add the drained beans, 3/4 cup of water (carefully, as the liquid may splatter), and as much of the chile paste as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally and mashing the beans with the back of a spoon, 7 to 9 minutes, or until thickened and the beans have slightly broken down. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

    4 Make the cheesy tortillas

    Carefully place the tortillas on the reserved sheet pan. Evenly top with the grated monterey jack; season with salt and pepper. Toast in the oven 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Carefully transfer to a work surface.
