Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 cup minced yellow onion
- 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, ground
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup water
- 4-6 small tortillas
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 4-6 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: hot sauce, lime wedges, cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- In a small pot, heat the neutral oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, onion, red chili flakes, cumin, salt, and pepper. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion begins to soften.
- Add the bay leaf, black beans, and water to the pot. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Remove the bay leaf and use an immersion blender to puree the black bean mixture until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Set aside.
- In a separate pan, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Crack an egg into the pan and cook sunny side up until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining eggs.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
- To assemble the tacos, spread a generous amount of black bean puree on each tortilla. Top with slices of avocado and a fried egg. Garnish with hot sauce, lime wedges, and cilantro if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
The black bean puree can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For a spicier kick, add more red chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce. These tacos are versatile and can be topped with additional ingredients like cheese or salsa.
