Ingredients

Tacos

8 flour tortillas
1 to 2 cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can of corn, rinsed and drained
1 cup shredded cheese

High Protein Cilantro-Lime Sauce

1 large handful cilantro leaves, washed and dried
2 cloves garlic or 2 cubes Dorot Gardens Frozen Garlic
1/2 jalapeño, seeds removed (optional)
1 cup cottage cheese, any percentage
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
pinch of black pepper
2 tablespoons water, to thin

Directions

Step 1 - Prepare the Tacos

Mash the black beans, then press onto half of the tortilla. Sprinkle some corn over the black beans and press down. Sprinkle cheese on top and fold tortilla in half. Repeat with the rest.
If cooking on the stovetop, spray the pan with oil spray and bring to medium heat. Cook two minutes per side until browned and crispy.
If baking all at once in the oven, place on a greased baking sheet. Spray the tops with oil spray and bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for five to 10 minutes. Flip and bake another five minutes.

Step 2 - For the Dipping Sauce

Place all the sauce ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Add a bit more water if needed.
Serve alongside the tacos.
