"I love the flavor combination of black beans and avocado! Using reduced fat sour cream and cheese, a serving of 2 tacos is 11 points (WW)."

Yum! I love Mexican food that's still healthy :) I've started making breakfat tacos/burritos in the mornings with eggs, avocado, turkey and cheese - so good and keeps you full all day!

That was terrific! I only used black beans, avocado, cheese, and sour cream on corn tortillas because it was all I had on hand and it turned out great! Hit the spot! Thanks for posting :-)

Delicious! I used whole wheat tortillas as a personal preference. Also, since I drained off all of the black bean liquid to reduce the sodium, I added lime juice to the pan for the liquid, since we love the combo of black bean and lime-- perfect! Thanks for sharing!

Great alternative to beef filled burritos/tacos. Black beans and avocado give it substance and it is actually quite filling.

I was so tired tonight. I whipped this up in just a few minutes and it hit the spot! I used a flax, oat bran, whole wheat wrap. Thank you my adopted one!
