Avocado & Black Bean Taco's

Avocado & Black Bean Taco's from Whole Living Magazine

Ingredients

  • 1/2 avocado
  • 1/4 Mango chunked
  • 1/2 minced clove garlic
  • 1 Tbsp lime juice
  • Dash cumin
  • Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Two corn tortillas
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced kale
  • 1/4 cup cooked black beans
  • 2 Tbsp Mexican style shredded cheese
  • 2 Tbsp toasted sunflower seeds roasted

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, mash avocado with garlic, lime juice, and cumin. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Toast tortillas over a gas burner, turning, until lightly charred.  (I don't have a gas burner so I warmed them up in a pan. Divide avocado mixture between tortillas and top with kale, beans, cheese, mango and sunflower seeds. Season with salt.
These taco's were delicious.  I did add some ingredients (highlighted in bold.)
  I really think it took this dish from good to delicious.  I tried it both ways w/ my added ingredients & without.  With the additions this is rated at an 9, w/out 6.  You will want to double or triple the recipe for more than one person.  I really liked the Kale on it.
 
These will be our new "go too taco's."

  I really loved this. It had nice, subtle flavor, and you could use different vegetables if you're crazy and don't like carrots or potatoes or asparagus. I also just used a rotisserie chicken. I give it an 8.5 and it came from jaroflemons.com.

Crepes

This is a classic that John’s Dad taught him to make after serving a mission in Paris. If you have the right toppings, these can be a 9. If your toppings suck, don't blame me. John has tweaked it a bit, and I like it with a bit more almond than he does, but here is the basic recipe: Crepes 6 eggs 1 1/2 cups flour 1 1/2 cups milk 1 1/2 T. vanilla 1 T. sugar 1/4 cup oil 1/4 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. almond extract John likes to mix it with a hand blender, but I prefer doing it in the BlendTec. You put this on about a 7 or 8 on the stove (medium-medium/high heat), and then use 1/3 cup to put it on a crepe pan as you swirl it cover the pan with the other hand.
