Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked black beans
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 10-12 corn tortillas
  • 2 tbsp oil avocado, olive, coconut, etc.

Instructions

  • Drain liquid from beans and place in a bowl.
  • Stir in salt, chili powder, and cumin and smash beans slightly.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • When oil is hot, place a tortilla in skillet and cook for 30 seconds. Flip over to the other side and fill with a small amount of beans. Fold over half of the tortilla and smash with a spatula. 
  • When first side is brown and crispy, flip over to brown the second side.  Remove from pan and place on plate to drain.  Repeat with remainder of tacos.

Notes

A small amount of shredded cheese may be added to the beans if desired.  About 4 oz of Pepperjack is delicious in them.
