Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mash the avocados with a fork until smooth and creamy.
- Add the drained black beans, diced tomato, chopped red onion, lime juice, chopped cilantro, cumin, chili powder, and salt to the mashed avocado. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
- In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable. Alternatively, you can microwave them wrapped in a damp paper towel for about 20 seconds.
- Divide the avocado and black bean mixture evenly among the warmed tortillas, approximately 1/4 cup per tortilla.
- Fold the tortillas in half to enclose the filling. Serve immediately with optional sour cream or Greek yogurt and salsa on the side.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider grilling the tortillas slightly for a smoky taste.
- Feel free to customize your tacos with additional toppings such as diced jalapeños, shredded lettuce, or crumbled queso fresco.
- If you're keen on some heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or sliced pickled jalapeños to the filling.
