Ingredients

• 2 ripe avocados
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 small red onion
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
• 1 lime
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 whole grain corn tortillas
• 2 cups baby spinach leaves
• 1 cup canned black beans
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the guacamole. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until slightly chunky.

Step 2

Dice the cherry tomatoes and finely chop the red onion. Chop the cilantro roughly. Add these to the mashed avocado.

Step 3

Roll the lime under your palm on the counter to maximize juice yield, then cut it in half and squeeze the juice into the bowl of avocado. Add salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Mix all the guacamole ingredients gently but thoroughly. Adjust seasoning to taste, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate.

Step 5

Prepare the black beans by draining and rinsing them. In a small saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once warm, add the beans and ground cumin. Stir and let them heat through for about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Warm the corn tortillas on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable.

Step 7

To assemble the tacos, start by placing a small amount of baby spinach leaves on each tortilla. Top with a spoonful of the prepared black beans.

Step 8

Add a generous dollop of guacamole to each taco.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy guacamole tacos.
