Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large avocados
- 8 small whole wheat tortillas
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 can black beans
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 large lime
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing your ingredients. Dice the red bell pepper and half of the red onion finely. Cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters and set aside.
Drain and rinse the can of black beans in a colander. Set the beans aside to let them drain completely.
In a large bowl, scoop out the flesh of the avocados and mash with a fork until smooth. Add a pinch of salt, squeeze half of the lime and mix well. Set the guacamole aside.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the diced red bell pepper and red onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the drained black beans to the skillet, followed by the ground cumin. Stir everything together and heat for another 2-3 minutes until everything is warmed through.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas by placing them one at a time in a dry skillet over medium heat, flipping after about 20 seconds each side until heated.
To assemble the tacos, spread a generous amount of avocado mash onto each tortilla. Top with a spoonful of the bean and veggie mix.
Add the quartered cherry tomatoes on top and sprinkle with fresh cilantro leaves.
Squeeze a little lime juice over each taco for additional flavor. Season with additional salt and black pepper if desired.
Serve the avocado tacos immediately while warm and enjoy your heart-healthy meal.
