Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 tbsp neutral oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) minced yellow onion
- 1/4 tsp red chili flakes
- 1 tsp cumin seeds, ground
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 can (15 oz) (425 g) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) 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.
