California Tacos Recipe

  • 3 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
  • 2 avocados, chopped
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup cooked white rice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 dash green pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®), or to taste (optional)
  1. Mix tomatoes, avocados, onion, 1/4 cup cilantro, and garlic together in a bowl. Drizzle lime juice over tomato mixture; toss to coat.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Arrange tortillas, 2 at a time, in hot oil; cook until crisp, about 1 minute per side. Remove tortillas using tongs and repeat with remaining tortillas.
  3. Spoon 2 tablespoons black beans and 2 tablespoons cooked rice onto each crisp tortilla; top with tomato mixture. Garnish tacos using remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro and green pepper sauce.
