Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe avocados
- 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 0.5 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 piece lime, juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 8 pieces corn tortillas
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 piece jalapeño, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until creamy but still slightly chunky.
Add the black beans, cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño (if using) to the bowl with the avocado. Mix everything gently to combine.
Squeeze the juice of the lime over the mixture and add the salt and cumin. Stir well to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Taste the guacamole mixture and adjust the lime juice, salt, or cumin if needed.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly brush each side of the corn tortillas with olive oil.
Place the tortillas in the hot pan and cook for about 1 minute on each side, until they are warm and slightly golden.
Remove the tortillas from the pan and lay them flat on a serving plate.
Spoon the high protein guacamole mixture onto each tortilla evenly. Fold the tortillas in half to form tacos.
Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, high-protein guacamole tacos!
