Directions
Step 1
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until creamy but still slightly chunky.
Step 2
Add the black beans, cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño (if using) to the bowl with the avocado. Mix everything gently to combine.
Step 3
Squeeze the juice of the lime over the mixture and add the salt and cumin. Stir well to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Step 4
Taste the guacamole mixture and adjust the lime juice, salt, or cumin if needed.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly brush each side of the corn tortillas with olive oil.
Step 6
Place the tortillas in the hot pan and cook for about 1 minute on each side, until they are warm and slightly golden.
Step 7
Remove the tortillas from the pan and lay them flat on a serving plate.
Step 8
Spoon the high protein guacamole mixture onto each tortilla evenly. Fold the tortillas in half to form tacos.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, high-protein guacamole tacos!
