Ingredients

  • 1 can spicy black beans drained
  • 1 tablespoon salsa of choice
  • ½ teaspoon salt will need more if you are using plain black beans
  • ½ teaspoon of each cumin, garlic powder, and paprika
  • 1 cup cheddar or Mexican style cheese give or take
  • 12 pack corn tortillas
  • 4 tablespoon olive oil separated

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 400.
  • Open and drain beans then pour into a small saucepan to heat on low heat.
  • Add salsa, and seasonings to the beans and stir well. If you have plain black beans you may want to add more seasoning. When beans are warm you can turn off the heat.
  • With about 1 tablespoon of the oil, brush both sides of the tortillas and place in the oven for about 2-4 minutes just until the tortillas are soft and pliable to work with. If you would rather warm them in a skillet, you can do so by brushing them with the oil and warming them on low heat in a frying pan just until they are pliable.
  • Prepare a baking sheet by adding the remaining olive oil to the bottom of the cookie sheet and spread it evenly.
  • Add about a tablespoon of bean mix and a tablespoon of cheese to the tortilla shell in a narrow line more toward one end. (like pictured above) Do not overfill!
  • Roll it up tightly (do not tuck ends in like you would with a burrito). Then place the crease side down on the cookie sheet with the oil.
  • Repeat until all are rolled and placed on the cookie sheet.
  • Bake about 7-10 minutes then flip and bake 7-10 more until crisp.
  • Serve with guacamole, salsa, sour cream, etc...
