What are vegan substitutes for yogurt?

Here are a few substitutes for the yogurt in my Creamy Cilantro Yogurt Sauce! I personally love the coconut milk option!!

• Coconut cream
• Coconut milk (mainly the white thick part)
• Silken tofu

How to make crispy black bean tacos?

1. Preheat oven to 450F. Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper.
2. In a skillet over medium high heat, add the olive oil to heat up for 1 minute.
3. Add the minced garlic, shallots, and jalapeño peppers. Sauce for 1 minute, until fragrant.
4. Add the drained black beans and tomato paste. Stir to combine.
5. Add 1 cup water, stir to combine, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer.
6. Using a fork, lightly smash the black beans. Add more water as necessary to keep the black beans moist but not liquid-y.
7. Add the taco seasoning, lime juice, and salt and black pepper to taste.
8. Evenly distribute and spread over the tortillas. Place on the prepared baking pan.
9. Brush each tortilla with olive oil.
10. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden brown, flip the tortillas over and bake another 8-10 minutes. Enjoy warm!
