Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 Corn tortillas
- 2 Small avocados
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 Red onion
- 0.25 cup Cilantro
- 1 Lime
- 0.25 cup Crumbled cotija cheese
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 spray Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and lightly spray with olive oil.
Warm the corn tortillas in the skillet for 20-30 seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable. Transfer them to a serving plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
Halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl. Mash the avocados with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
Chop the cherry tomatoes into quarters, dice the red onion finely, and roughly chop the cilantro.
Add the tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro to the mashed avocado and mix gently to combine.
Halve the lime and squeeze the juice into the avocado mixture. Add the chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and adjust seasoning to taste.
Divide the avocado mixture evenly among the warmed tortillas.
Top each taco with a sprinkle of crumbled cotija cheese.
Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side.
