  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese (or vegan cheese)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • as needed Olive oil (for brushing)
  • as needed Fresh cilantro (for garnish, optional)
  • as needed Sour cream or yogurt (for serving, optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, mash the black beans slightly and mix in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place a spoonful of the black bean mixture in the center of each corn tortilla and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
  4. Fold the tortillas in half and place them on a sheet pan.
  5. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until crispy and golden-brown.
  7. Serve warm, garnished with cilantro and with sour cream or yogurt on the side if desired.

Notes

For extra crunch, brush the tortillas with olive oil. Store leftovers in the fridge for about 3-4 days in an airtight container. Reheat in the oven to regain crunch. Try adding diced jalapeños or sweet potato for more flavor!
