What a fantastic Thursday, two delicious new recipes on the blog, a new partnership announcement, OKC Thunder playoff basketball and it’s almost Cinco De Mayo weekend!
I’m so excited to post this recipe featuring Nature’s Path Sunrise Cereal. I recently partnered up with Nature’s Path to bring you new, healthy, vegetarian & gluten free recipes featuring their amazing products.
These avocado tacos are crusted in Nature’s Path Mesa Sunrise Flakes, which I love because it’s full of great, healthy ingredients like flax and quinoa, it’s also certified gluten free, organic and non-GMO.
Throw in a little bit of taco seasoning, hot sauce black beans and corn salsa, and these tacos are packing the flavor, while still gluten free and vegetarian!
Ingredients
- 2 avocados
- ¼ cup hot sauce
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning (click for homemade recipe)
- 1 cup Nature’s Path Mesa Sunrise Flakes
- 6 small corn tortillas
- 1 cup refried black beans
- 1 cup roasted poblano corn salsa (click link for recipe)
Preheat the oven to 425°.
Add the Nature’s Path Mesa Sunrise Flakes and taco seasoning to a food processor.
Blend into a fine crumb mixture. Place the mixture in a shallow bowl.
Place the hot sauce in another shallow bowl.
De-seed, thinly slice and remove the avocados from their shell.
Dip the avocado slices into the hot sauce.
Once covered in the hot sauce, dredge the avocado slices in the taco seasoned mesa flakes.
Place on a baking rack on top of a baking sheet.
Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
Prepare the tacos by warming the tortillas in the oven 2-3 minutes.
Spread the refried black beans on the bottom of the tortillas, then add the crispy avocado.
Top with the corn salsa.
I also added a little fresh cilantro and diced red peppers for a burst of color and zing of flavor!
Such a great vegetarian taco idea for the upcoming Cinco De Mayo holiday or any Taco Tuesday!
