Recipe Summary

• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 10 minutes
• Total Time: 25 minutes
• Servings: 4
• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 small flour or corn tortillas
• 1 cup fresh salsa (homemade or store-bought)
• 1 avocado, sliced
• Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
• Crumbled feta or cotija cheese (optional)
• Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

1. In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Stir in the black beans and ground cumin, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the beans are heated through, about 5-7 minutes. Slightly mash the beans with the back of a spoon for a creamier texture.
4. While the beans are cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate pan or in the microwave until pliable.
5. Assemble the tacos: place a generous spoonful of the black bean mixture on each tortilla, top with fresh salsa, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of cilantro and cheese, if using.
6. Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side for extra zest.

Helpful Tips

• Variation 1: Add scrambled eggs or a sunny-side-up egg on top for an extra protein boost.
• Variation 2: For a spicier kick, include some jalapeño slices or a dash of hot sauce.
• Make Ahead: Prepare the black bean mixture ahead of time and reheat just before serving to save time on busy mornings.
• Substitution: Use chickpeas or pinto beans as an alternative to black beans for a different flavor profile.

Storage Instructions

Leftover black beans can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat before assembling the tacos.

Pairings

These Black Bean Breakfast Tacos pair beautifully with a refreshing fruit salad, a side of roasted potatoes, or a simple green smoothie for a balanced and satisfying breakfast. Enjoy with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice or a cup of your favorite coffee.
