Description

The Avocado Black Bean Mix is a versatile, easy-to-make dish that brings a burst of fresh flavor to any meal. Whether you enjoy it as a topping for tacos, a light dip with chips, or a side dish, it is guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser. Not only is this recipe packed with healthy ingredients like avocados, black beans, and fresh cilantro, but it’s also customizable to suit your personal taste.

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados, diced

  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped

  • 1 small tomato, diced (optional)

  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (or more to taste)

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder (optional, for a little heat)

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Start by preparing all of your ingredients. Dice the ripe avocados into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl. Drain and rinse the black beans under cold water, removing any excess liquid or preservatives. Finely chop the red onion and cilantro. If you are using a tomato, dice it into small pieces as well.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

Once all the ingredients are prepared, add the black beans, red onion, cilantro, and diced tomato (if using) to the bowl with the avocado. Gently toss everything together with a spoon to combine. Be careful not to mash the avocado – you want to maintain its creamy texture.

Step 3: Season the Mix

Now it’s time to season the mix. Add the lime juice, ground cumin, chili powder (if using), and salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together carefully, making sure the seasoning is evenly distributed without mashing the avocado.

Step 4: Taste and Adjust

Taste the mix and adjust the seasoning as necessary. If you prefer more lime juice, add another splash. If you like more heat, sprinkle in additional chili powder or even a finely chopped jalapeño. Adjust the salt and pepper to suit your taste.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Serve the Avocado Black Bean Mix immediately as a topping for tacos, as a side dish, or with tortilla chips for a refreshing dip. It’s best when fresh, but you can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 1 day (though the avocados may start to brown).

Notes

This Avocado Black Bean Mix tastes even better after chilling for 15–20 minutes. Perfect as a dip, taco filling, or a light salad. Customize with your favorite toppings like corn, jalapeños, or a squeeze of lime
