You all know I love all things Mexican. Given the chance I think I would have tacos every day. 😀 At the store on Saturday I noticed tiny corn tortillas – I much prefer corn tortillas to flour ones. And the fact that I could get 4 for three points sealed the deal – well, that and the price – 4 dozen for $1.99!
I decided to make spinach, black bean and corn mini tacos.
- 4 mini corn tortillas (3)
- 1/4 cup black beans, (canned that I rinsed) (1)
- 1/4 cup canned corn (canned that I rinsed) (1)
- 1/4 cup egg whites (1)
- 1/2 cup baby spinach, chopped (0)
- 1/2 ounce cheddar cheese (1)
- salsa, cilantro and jalapeno (0)
- 1 tsp. olive oil (1)
In a small skillet I sauteed the black beans and corn for a couple minutes. Then I added the egg whites and cooked until they were no longer runny, about 2 minutes. Then added the baby spinach and cooked until it was just wilted. I nuked the corn tortillas for 20 seconds, just to get them pliable.
I divided the cheese among the corn tortillas, then divided the black bean, corn mixture among the tortillas, then heated up the 1 tsp. olive oil in the same pan that I rinsed out. I used Pam too – just fried until they were crisp on both sides, about a minute and a half on each side.
I served with cilantro, jalapeno and salsa – after these pics were taken I tucked each taco with jalapeno and cilantro – a filling and quite tasty 8 WW point breakfast.
This post is short and sweet. You know, like me. 😀
We are off to have Tony’s out patient surgery to get his wound vac put in. Hoping that this will be the final chapter of this book, and we can turn the last page and move on. Thanks again for all your not only your virtual high fives for my last weigh in, but your continued support as we try to get Tony healthy.
It means more to me than you’ll ever know! Hugs, and have a great Monday. And in case you need a little motivation this week, my friend Amy posted this on Facebook:
Good luck to Tony! What a powerful photo at the end. So true. No excuses! Have a good day Biz.
Oh boy, I’ve been craving tacos for weeks since I can’t have them! Of course we crave the things we can’t have! lol!
I 100% agree that I could eat tacos/Mexican food every day too, love it! Definitely corn tortillas > flour, agreed 🙂 I made these things called pupusas this weekend using corn masa and they were so good, I just can’t get enough of that flavor! These mini tacos are so cute and look really good!
I also just saw a recipe for sopas – thinking of making them into a savory breakfast though 😀
I could eat mexican every day for the rest of my life. Seriously.
Good luck to you both today! #highfive!
Oh yum,I love tacos for breakfast!
Hang in there Tony, hugs and prayers to you both! 🙂
That picture is powerful. And so, so true!
I think you meant to say you could eat tacos and pizza everday. Forgot your other love:)
Why haven’t I thought of stuffing my corn tortillas, then crisping them up in the pan? Love that!
You are correct – I need to make a Mexican pizza soon!

I want to eat tacos every day….so good! Even for breakfast, clearly! Congrats on your weight-loss, Biz! HUGE high five! I’ve been reading but with my new job, computer time is limited so I don’t always have time to comment. Thinking about Tony..here’s to recovery. Cheers!
The tacos look really good – awesome pics! Good luck today!
The tacos look fabulous!
I’ll be thinking of you and Tony today!
Mexican food is my favorite too, number 1 for sure. That picture is so cute, his smile jumps off the page, I am showing that to my kids when they wake up.
OMG! Those breaky tacos look AMAZING!!! I have never really liked the corn tortillas but I have never “toasted” them….this breakfast is going to be in my rotation soon!! and I am totally pinning it!!

Just a teaspoon of olive oil is all you need – they are nice and crunchy!
Hope today is smooth and easy for you guys!
Taco’s look very very good!
Hope everything goes well today for Tony. Keeping my fingers crossed here for him and you.
That last picture is SO inspiring!!! Hope everything goes well today. Will be thinking of you two! And holy yum
I could eat tacos every day too. In fact, some weeks I actually do. I make breakfast tacos all the time!
Get Tony in and out of there as quick as possible and get him healthy! 🙂
But I bet you put onions on yours 😀
I must find those tortillas! That breakfast is divine!
Praying today goes smoothly for Tony & that he continues to heal.

Ah, delicious! I’ve got a package of those corn tortillas in the freezer (part of my “ready to be snowed in” stash!!??
Hope things go well for Tony today!!

Bonnie
Let’s hope we don’t get a blizzard in March! 😀
