How to Make Black Bean and Avocado Tacos

1. In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the black beans, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through and fragrant.
2. While the beans are cooking, prepare the taco toppings. In a bowl, combine the diced avocado, shredded lettuce, and chopped cilantro. Set aside.
3. Warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable. You can also wrap them in foil and warm them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
4. To assemble the tacos, place a generous spoonful of the warm black bean mixture on each tortilla.
5. Add the avocado, lettuce, and cilantro mixture on top of the beans.
6. Drizzle with sour cream and spoon on your favorite salsa.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious tacos!

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your avocados are ripe for maximum creaminess.
• Feel free to add lime juice to the avocado mix for an extra zing.

Easy Variations

• Switch up the beans: Try using pinto beans or refried beans for different flavors.
• Add cheese: Sprinkle some crumbled feta or shredded cheese for a cheesy twist.

• Use different toppings: Try adding diced tomatoes, red onion, or corn for added texture.

What to Serve With It
