Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • 4–6 soft corn or flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1–2 tbsp sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced or 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1–2 tsp water or milk (optional, to thin)
  • Optional toppings: diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, shredded lettuce or cabbage, sliced green onions, extra cilantro, crumbled queso fresco or shredded cheese
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together mayo, sriracha, lime juice, garlic, and salt. Add a splash of water or milk if needed to thin. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Sauté onion until softened (2–3 minutes), then add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Stir in black beans and season with salt and pepper. Heat through and keep warm.
  3. In a bowl, beat eggs with salt and pepper. In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt a bit of butter or oil. Pour in eggs and scramble gently until just set but still soft. Remove from heat.
  4. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet, microwave, or wrapped in foil in the oven until soft and pliable.
  5. To assemble: on each tortilla, layer black beans and scrambled eggs. Drizzle with sriracha mayo and add desired toppings like avocado, tomato, lettuce, green onion, or cheese. Finish with a squeeze of lime.
  6. Serve immediately while warm. Offer extra sriracha mayo or lime wedges on the side.

Notes

  • Use tofu scramble and vegan mayo for a vegan version.
  • Scrambled eggs are best fresh; store beans and sauce separately if prepping ahead.
  • Adjust sriracha in mayo to control spice level.
  • Add sautéed veggies like bell peppers or spinach for extra nutrition.
  • Use corn tortillas for gluten-free version (check all labels).
