Crispy Black Bean Tacos

Ingredients

• 1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
• 0.5 onion (finely diced)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 4 tortillas (small corn or flour)
• 0.5 cup shredded cheese (such as cheddar or Monterey Jack)
• salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps

1. 1

   Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.

2. 2

   Add the minced garlic, cumin, and chili powder to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

3. 3

   Stir in the drained black beans. Use a fork or potato masher to lightly crush some of the beans to create a thicker texture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. 4

   In a separate clean pan or on a griddle over medium heat, place a tortilla. Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese over the entire surface.

5. 5

   Spread a portion of the black bean mixture over one half of the tortilla.

6. 6

   Fold the tortilla in half over the beans. Press down slightly with a spatula.

7. 7

   Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is fully melted. Repeat for the remaining tacos.
