Makes 4 tacos

 

Make the Orange Salsa first so its flavors have time to blend while the

beans are cooking. In this recipe, the flavors and colors of citrus, sweet

peppers and fresh cilantro mingle for an exceptionally refreshing and

attractive dish.

 

To make salsa: Peel and section orange over a bowl to catch juice. Quarter

orange sections and combine with juice, sweet peppers, onions, vinegar and

cilantro in same bowl. Cover and chill until ready to serve tacos.

 

To make filling: Cook jalapeno peppers and garlic in hot oil in a nonstick

skillet over medium-high heat for 3 minutes.

 

Add beans to peppers. Cover and cook over low heat until hot about 5

minutes. Spoon bean mixture onto tortillas and roll up. Serve with orange

salsa and garnish with sour cream.
