Ingredients

• 6 pieces Corn tortillas
• 1 cup Black beans (cooked, drained)
• 2 medium Avocado
• 1 large Lime
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves (fresh)
• 0.5 cup Crumbled queso fresco (or feta as a substitute)
• 0.25 cup Pickled jalapeños (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 1 large Garlic cloves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Brush the corn tortillas lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Grill or toast each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and slightly crispy. Set aside.

Step 3

In a small pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, and smoked paprika. Stir for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add the cooked black beans. Cook for 3-4 minutes, mashing slightly with the back of a spoon for a chunky texture. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Prepare the guacamole by mashing the avocados in a bowl. Mix in the juice of 1 lime, a pinch of salt, and 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.

Step 5

Dice the cherry tomatoes and red onion finely. Combine them in a small bowl with the remaining chopped cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, and a pinch of salt to make a simple pico de gallo salsa.

Step 6

To assemble, lay the toasted corn tortillas flat. Spread a layer of the black bean mixture on each. Add a dollop of guacamole on top, followed by the pico de gallo salsa.

Step 7

Sprinkle crumbled queso fresco evenly across all the tortillas. Add sliced pickled jalapeños on top if desired for some extra heat.

Step 8

Serve immediately as a colorful and delicious vegetarian Mexican appetizer that’s sure to impress!
