Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 Corn tortillas
- 15 oz Canned black beans
- 14 oz Firm tofu
- 2 Avocados
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 Red onion
- 0.5 cup Cilantro
- 2 Lime
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned black beans and set aside.
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then crumble it into small pieces with your hands.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the ground cumin, chili powder, half of the salt, and half of the pepper, stirring to coat the tofu. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the tofu is golden brown. Remove from heat.
While the tofu is cooking, dice the avocados and cherry tomatoes, and finely chop the red onion and cilantro.
In a medium bowl, combine the black beans, diced avocados, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro.
Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and gently mix everything together.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until they are pliable.
To assemble the tacos, place a spoonful of the tofu mixture on each tortilla, top with the avocado-bean mixture, and garnish with additional cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your high protein avocado tacos!
