Cooking Tips

Cooking from Scratch:
If using dried black beans, soak them overnight and then cook them until tender. Alternatively, use canned black beans for convenience, but rinse them well to reduce sodium content.
Tortilla Options:
Opt for whole grain, corn, or low-carb tortillas to reduce the overall carbohydrate content of the tacos.
Spice Blend:
Use Tex-Mex spices like chili powder, cumin, and paprika to season the fillings for authentic flavour.
Proper Egg Preparation:
Scramble or fry the eggs to your preference, ensuring they are cooked but still moist.
Balanced Fillings:
Distribute the fillings evenly among the tortillas to ensure each taco is well-balanced in flavour and texture.
