INGREDIENTS

Almond Butter Refried Beans:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
  • ¼ teaspoon  salt
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 tablespoons JUSTIN’S® Classic Almond Butter
  • 1/3 cup water (plus more as needed)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice, to taste

Tacos:

  • 6 flour tortillas
  • 6 eggs, scrambled
  • ¾ cup pico de gallo
  • 1 cup finely shredded red cabbage
  • 1/3 cup queso fresco
  • Sliced jalapenos (optional)

DIRECTIONS

  1. To make the refried beans, heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the onions and salt until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, spices, beans, almond butter and water. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, then reduce heat to low. Use a potato masher or the back of a fork to mash the beans. Continue to cook the beans, uncovered, stirring often, for 3 more minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the cilantro and lime juice. Taste, and add more salt and lime juice if necessary.
  2. To make the tacos, spread about 3 tablespoons of the beans onto each tortilla. Top with eggs, pico de gallo, shredded cabbage, queso fresco, and jalapenos, as desired.
  3. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Great Summer Recipes
Roasted Almond Butter and Maple Glazed Tofu, Squash and Brussels in a close up shot laid on white parchment paper

Roasted Almond Butter and Maple Glazed Tofu, Squash, and Brussels is a genuine triple threat. This dinner delight is vegetarian, full of flavor, and cooks in one pan. It doesn’t take your whole day to prepare either. At any given moment, you are thirty minutes of marinating, a few minutes of tossing ingredients together, and thirty minutes of hands-off roasting away from enjoying a flavor-packed, wholesome, vegetarian meal. Seriously. There’s really no downside to this recipe.
