Ingredients
- 1 can (400g) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 6 small corn or flour tortillas
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Pickled red onion or fresh red onion, sliced
- Fresh coriander
- Lime wedges
- Hot sauce of your choice
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
- Add black beans, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Smash about half the beans with the back of a fork. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the bottom gets crispy.
- Warm tortillas in a dry pan or directly over a gas flame for a few seconds each side.
- Load up: beans, avocado, onion, coriander, a squeeze of lime, and hot sauce.
Notes
Smashing the beans is the move. You get a mix of creamy and crispy that whole beans can't deliver. Add a fried egg on top for breakfast tacos.
