Black Bean and Corn Breakfast Tacos
We went all out for breakfast yesterday morning. Ok, maybe not all out, but this was way fancier than our typical breakfasts.
I am an oatmeal girl, at least five days per week. Lately I have been making overnight oats with almond milk and blueberries. Chris favors bagels, two whole wheat un-toasted, no toppings. I don’t think his breakfast choice is exciting enough for me to eat week in and week out, but it is efficient, that’s for sure. As long as he is happy, I am happy!
The divergence from our normal breakfast was due mostly in part to me being sleepy and trying to put off mountain biking for later. I successfully delayed us for at least an hour or so.
These things were awesome! I made mine with four scrambled egg whites instead of the two over-medium eggs pictured, but I understand that egg whites are not so popular with everyone.
Ingredients:
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2/3 cups corn (I used frozen.)
- 2/3 cups black beans
- 8 eggs
- 4 oz jalapeño cheddar, shredded
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 avocado
- 8 tbsp sour cream (I used reduced fat.)
- diced tomato (optional)
- hot sauce to taste
- olive oil spray
Directions:
- Chop onion, then sauté in a skillet with olive oil spray.
- Just before the onions turn translucent, add the corn and black beans and continue to cook until all of the ingredients are evenly heated.
- Cook eggs, over-medium.
- While eggs are cooking, place tortillas (lightly sprayed with olive oil) in a broiler to heat them until they are pliable.
- Top each tortilla shell with one egg, several spoonfuls of the black bean mixture, 1/8 avocado (sliced), 1/2 ounce of shredded cheese, and 1 tbsp of sour cream.

These look amazing! I’m going to try them this weekend.
Thanks! They were really good. Chris gave them his famous “These are good enough to serve to other people!” stamp of approval. Win!
