Prep. time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Servings: 8



Ingredients



  • 2 tablespoons olive oil , divided

  • 1 small yellow onion , diced

  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

  • 2 to 3 garlic cloves , minced

  • 1 can (15-ounces) dark red kidney beans, well rinsed and drained

  • 1/2- teaspoon ground cumin , or to taste

  • 1/4- teaspoon chili powder , or to taste

  • 1/2- teaspoon dried oregano

  • salt and fresh ground pepper , to taste

  • 8 eggs

  • 8 (6-inch) whole wheat tortillas, warmed

  • 1 can (10-ounces) Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies

  • 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat Mexican-Blend Cheese

  • 1 avocado , diced

  • fresh lime juice

  • fresh parsley or fresh cilantro , chopped, for garnish




Instructions



  • In a large skillet heat 1 tablespoon olive oil.

  • Add diced onions and season with salt; cook for 3 minutes, or until translucent.

  • Add minced garlic and continue to cook for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

  • Stir in beans; season with cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt and pepper.

  • Continue to cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until beans have softened.

  • Remove from heat, and using the back of a fork or a potato masher, mash the beans until they resemble chunky mashed potatoes. Set aside.

  • If you want smoother beans, return to heat and add 1/4-cup water; simmer until beans are thick and of spreading consistency. Set aside.

  • In a large skillet, heat remaining olive oil over medium-high heat.

  • Break eggs and gently slide into skillet, one at a time. (In my skillet, I can fit about 4 eggs at a time.)

  • Reduce heat to low and cook slowly until whites are completely firm and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard.

  • Carefully slide a spatula under each egg and flip; Cook until desired doneness. Add more olive oil as needed.


ASSEMBLE



  • Evenly divide and spread prepared beans on warmed tortillas and top with cooked eggs.

  • Add diced tomatoes & green chilies over the eggs.

  • Sprinkle with cheese.

  • Add diced avocados and squeeze fresh lemon juice over each prepared taco.

  • Garnish with parsley or cilantro.

  • Serve.
