1
Prepare the Black Beans
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the black beans (drained and rinsed) with a splash of water. Heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Mash slightly with a fork for a creamier texture if desired.
2
Prepare the Tortillas
In a separate skillet, heat the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until they are warm and pliable. Keep them covered with a kitchen towel to retain warmth.
3
Prepare the Toppings
While the tortillas are heating, dice the roma tomatoes and avocado, and thinly slice the scallions. Roughly chop the fresh cilantro.

4
Assemble the Savory Cakes
On each warm corn tortilla, spread a generous spoonful of the warmed black beans. Top with diced roma tomatoes, sliced scallions, and chopped cilantro.
5
Add Garnishes
Finish the savory cakes by adding a dollop of sour cream and salsa on top, followed by slices of avocado. Serve immediately.
