What's new here? it is a "spicy black bean taco recipe". A straightforward and easy-to-make breakfast recipe gives a full feeling, healthy, too. The best breakfast recipe to start the day with lots of flavors. Every bite will give different textures and tastes.
Being an Indian, I found lots of similarities between the Mexican cuisine and the Indian cuisine.
Like me, every other Indian would also feel the same, and that's the reason to find Mexican restaurants crowded with Indians.
This breakfast taco recipe gave me a feeling of making something I make regularly at home, and not feeling like I trying out different cuisines.
The good part of this spicy black bean taco is that it does not need many hours of preparation. Canned black beans, store-bought salsa, and tortillas can be used. But I make my tomato salsa. I soaked and cooked black beans.
Have some Leftover Tortillas? No worries, pop them into the oven to make baked Tortilla Chips; it is straightforward to make
I soaked black beans for about 4 hours and slow-cooked in a slow cooker. The leftover black bean can be deep-frozen in an airtight container. It stays good for about one month.
This gives me the feeling of cooking healthy and saves my wallet. But your choices are making it from scratch or buying it from stores, so go by your preferences.
In the same way, making salsa is not very difficult. Homemade is always healthy as it can avoid preservatives and unwanted chemicals.
For cooked Black beans: You can use homemade or store-bought canned black beans.
How to cook black beans at home? Soak beans for about 4-5 hours, and pressure cook in medium flame for about 7-10 mins(approximately) or slow cook it for about 4-6 hours(approximately). The cooking time varies according to the cooker, so decide accordingly.
How to make Spicy black bean taco
Cut potatoes into small-sized cubes.
Add a tablespoon of cooking oil to a pan. Add potato cubes, add salt, and cook them on medium flame until thoroughly cooked. Keep it aside; we need these later while assembling the tacos.
In the same pan, add eggs and salt. Stir continuously to make scrambles. Finally, add crushed pepper. And keep it aside, too.
For arranging the tacos, spread tomato salsa evenly over the tortillas. Then spread black beans, followed by potatoes and egg scrambles.
Sprinkle red pepper flakes and serve them.
