Instructions

In a medium skillet, heat your oil over medium heat. Once hot, add in the onion and garlic and cook for 2 minutes.

Add in the black beans, ¼ cup of broth, and spices. Cook until the black beans are heated through, stirring frequently. Using the back of a wooden spoon, lightly mash about ¼ of the black beans. You *can* skip this step but it creates a nice and creamy texture that’s very lovely! If black beans seem quite dry, add in a couple more tablespoons of the broth and heat through.

Remove black beans from heat and divide among 2 plates. Top with fried eggs and other desired toppings! Serve with warm tortillas for a delicious breakfast taco.

Notes

*If wanting to make this quickly with little to no chopping, you can easily sub the onion and garlic for ½-1 teaspoon each of onion and garlic powder. I’ve tried this a few times and it’s still delicious.

I recommend that this dish serves 2 but it would also make a great side dish for 4.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Bloom Your Spices 🌶️
Toast the cumin and paprika in hot olive oil for 30-60 seconds before adding garlic and onions to unlock their deeper, more complex flavors.
Crush Beans Partially 🫘
Mash roughly half of the cooked black beans against the side of the pot to create a creamy texture while keeping some beans whole for better bite and visual appeal.
Broth Temperature Matters 🔥
Use warm broth rather than cold to prevent the cooking process from stopping and ensure the beans simmer gently for optimal creaminess without breaking apart.
Char Your Tortillas 🌯
Briefly toast corn tortillas directly over a gas flame or in a dry skillet immediately before serving to enhance their flavor and make them pliable enough for taco assembly.
Finish with Fresh Aromatics 🧅
Stir in fresh diced onion, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice just before serving to add brightness and contrast the rich, earthy black beans.
