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. 

Notes

Tips for success:
  • Use canned or leftover black beans to make this recipe in a snap!
  • Skip the eggs and cheese for a vegan breakfast taco.
  • Swap in your favorite soft tortilla if corn is not your thing.
