Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Low-carb tortillas
- 1.5 cups Black soybeans
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Sour cream
- 0.75 cup Crumbled queso fresco
- 1 large Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro
- 4 pieces Lime wedges
Instructions
Rinse and drain the black soybeans thoroughly before use. Mash them lightly with a fork or potato masher to create a coarse texture.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the mashed black soybeans to the skillet. Stir in cumin powder and salt, cooking for 5-7 minutes until the mixture becomes slightly creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.
Warm the low-carb tortillas in a dry skillet or over a gas flame until soft and pliable. Keep them covered to retain heat.
To assemble the baleadas, spread a generous scoop of the refried black soybeans onto each tortilla.
Add a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle crumbled queso fresco on top.
Slice the avocado into thin pieces and place a few slices over the filling. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
Serve the baleadas immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing, and enjoy!
