Oaxaca Tacos with Black Bean Stew


I have been on the hunt for a potato taco recipe and finally got one in my newest cookbook, Cafe Flora Cookbook by Catherine Geier with Carol Brown. These were really good. The filling was a mix of mashed potato, smoked mozzarella, cheddar and red bell pepper. Such a nice flavor to them. They were baked to melt the cheese and make the tortillas a bit brown & crispy. The black bean stew was very flavorful and we will probably make it again without the tacos (although we'll be making the whole dinner again for sure). The stew consisted of black beans, corn, cilantro, cumin seeds, chili powder, garlic, red pepper flakes, brown sugar and oregano ~ it smelled so good while cooking and the taste didn't disappoint. All in all, a fantastic, flavorful dish which made the new cookbook definitely worth buying. The prep was pretty easy too.
