Chalupas de Frijoles are delightful, crispy corn tortillas topped with a rich, flavorful black bean mixture and fresh toppings. This vegan dish is not only satisfying but also packed with nutrients, making it a perfect lunch option.

Ingredients

• Corn tortillas - 4 pieces
• Canned black beans - 400 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
• Tomato - 1 medium, diced

Steps

1. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
2. Add the canned black beans (drained and rinsed), cumin, chili powder, and salt to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, mashing some of the beans with a fork to create a creamy texture.
3. While the bean mixture is cooking, heat another skillet over medium-high heat and lightly toast the corn tortillas for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they are slightly crispy.
4. Once the bean mixture is ready, spoon it generously onto each toasted tortilla.
5. Top the chalupas with diced tomato, sliced avocado, and chopped cilantro.
6. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the chalupas.
