Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 120 ml Olive oil
- 400 g Cooked black beans
- 200 g Corn kernels (fresh or canned)
- 150 g Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 piece Red onion
- 20 g Cilantro
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 medium Lime
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 100 ml Sour cream
Instructions
1. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottom skillet over medium-high heat. Line a plate with paper towels.
2. Fry the corn tortillas one at a time in the hot oil for about 1 minute on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oil and place on the paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with all tortillas.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, add the cooked black beans and corn kernels. Season with salt and black pepper, and gently combine.
4. Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely dice the red onion. Add them to the bean and corn mixture. Roughly chop the cilantro and add to the bowl.
5. Halve and pit the avocado, then scoop the flesh into the bowl. Cut the lime in half and squeeze its juice over the avocado. Gently toss the mixture together to combine.
6. To serve, spread a spoonful of sour cream over each crispy corn tortilla. Top with a generous amount of the mixed bean and vegetable topping.
7. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
