Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked pinto beans with bean broth
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small corn tortillas preferably from scratch (see note)
  • 2 roma tomatoes diced
  • 1/2 cup sweet corn kernels
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 2 jalapeño peppers sliced
  • finely chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
  • 1 lime quartered

Instructions

  • For home-cooked beans: Scoop out two cups with a little bean broth and reheat in a large pan for about 5 minutes, or until the liquid evaporates enough so the broth becomes a thick sauce.  For canned beans: Drain and rinse the beans, then heat with 1/4 cup of chicken or vegetable stock. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Prepare the tortillas from scratch, or if using pre-made tortillas, warm them in a small pan over medium heat, about 30 seconds per side.
  • Assemble tacos by spooning 1-2 tablespoons of beans onto one tortilla, then topping with tomatoes, jalapeño, avocado, corn, and cilantro.
  • Squeeze some fresh lime juice onto your taco right before taking the first bite.
