Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 large tortillas (whole wheat or gluten-free)
- 2 ripe avocados
- ½ cup precooked black beans (rinsed)
- ¼ cup corn
- 2 tablespoons diced red onion
- Juice of ½ lime
- 1 garlic clove (minced)
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Crushed red pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro
- Sea salt and cracked pepper to taste

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, mash the avocados until smooth, then mix in the minced garlic, lime juice, sea salt, cracked pepper, and crushed red pepper.
- Gently fold in the black beans, corn, diced onion, and chopped cilantro to the avocado mixture.
- In a non-stick skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat.

Notes
Avoid overmixing the filling for better texture. Look for a golden-brown color on the tortilla as an indicator of doneness.
