These easy black bean breakfast tacos with eggs and creamy avocado are packed with protein and fiber and perfect for a quick and savory breakfast.
This month, the Recipe Redux crew is back with savory breakfast options. If you know me, you know I love breakfast. I also love tacos more than a typical person.
August and July were incredibly busy. I’m actually writing this post from the road right now. But I couldn’t fathom missing this opportunity to share a breakfast recipe with the rest of the crew. I won’t pretend that these are novel or authentic. They are not. I just wanted to share one of my favorite quick meals. I like them for a filling, savory breakfast idea and often for lunch too.

These easy breakfast tacos work because of the layers of flavor.
Precooked or canned black beans make a good base for the tacos. Sautéing them with a little oil, garlic, onion, and chipotle pepper adds a smoky flavor. Simply seasoned with salt and pepper, the scrambled eggs add the breakfast spin. Instead of cheese, I added creamy avocado and I finished it with fresh salsa and fresh cilantro too.
Easy Black Bean Breakfast Tacos
Ingredients
- 8 6-inch white soft corn tortillas, warmed
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil
- ½ cup red onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 15 ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
- ¼ teaspoon ground chipotle powder
- 4 eggs
- 1 small avocado, diced
- ½ cup fresh or your favorite jarred salsa
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Scramble the eggs. You know how to do that. Just make them how you’d normally make them. Here’s a tutorial if perhaps you need a reminder.
- Saute the beans: Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Saute the onion until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the beans and garlic and heat just until warm heated through, about 3-5 minutes.
- Blister the tortillas over an open flame on the range or heat them in a dry skillet. Set aside, wrapped in a cloth napkin to keep them warm.
- Layer the beans, then eggs onto each tortilla. You’’ll be tempted but try not to overstuff the tortillas - stick to about ¼ cup beans per taco. Top with avocado, salsa, and cilantro as desired.

Just like mama used to make. To kick it up, diced raw onion, homemade salsa and pickled jalapeños. Big flavor and texture additions to the taco. Jump on it, these are great!
