Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the black beans thoroughly under cold water, then transfer to a medium saucepan.
- Warm the black beans over medium heat, gently mashing some beans with a fork to create a creamy texture while keeping some beans whole for added texture.
- While beans are warming, heat a separate skillet over medium-high heat and warm the corn tortillas for about 30-45 seconds on each side until they become slightly crisp and pliable.
- Dice the fresh tomatoes into small, uniform cubes and set aside. Slice the avocado into thin, even slices.
- Once tortillas are warmed, place a generous spoonful of the heated black beans in the center of each tortilla.
- Top the beans with diced tomatoes, avocado slices, and crumbled feta cheese.
- Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the tacos for added flavor and color.
- Squeeze fresh lime wedges over the tacos just before serving to add a bright, citrusy note.
- Serve immediately while tortillas are warm and ingredients are fresh.
Tips
- Choose the Right Tortillas: For the best texture and flavor, opt for small corn tortillas, which add an authentic Mexican touch to your breakfast tacos.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Add ingredients like diced jalapeños for heat, or swap feta for queso fresco for a creamier taste.
- Perfectly Warmed Tortillas: Make sure to warm your tortillas just enough to make them pliable but not too crispy, so they can hold all the delicious fillings without breaking.
- Mash Your Beans to Taste: Adjust the creaminess of your black beans by mashing them to your preferred consistency. A mix of whole and mashed beans adds great texture!
- Fresh Ingredients Matter: Use ripe avocados and fresh tomatoes for the best flavor. The freshness of the ingredients elevates the entire dish.
- Lime is Key: Don’t skip the lime! A squeeze of fresh lime juice right before serving brightens up the flavors and adds a zesty kick.
- Serve Immediately: These tacos are best enjoyed fresh, so serve them right after assembling to keep the tortillas warm and the toppings crisp.
