Prep Time:
10 minutes
Cook Time:
15 minutes
Total Time:
25 minutes
Yield:
4 servings (2 tacos each)

Ingredients

1½ tbsp (22 ml) canola oil, divided

1 19oz (540 ml) can black beans, drained and rinsed

⅓ cup (80 ml) chunky salsa

½ tsp (2.5 ml) chili powder

¼ tsp (1 ml) ground cumin

¼ tsp (1 ml) garlic powder

⅛ tsp (0.5 ml) dried oregano

⅛ tsp (0.5 ml) onion powder

8 5-inch corn tortillas

⅔ cup (165 ml) shredded cheddar cheese

Garnishes: sour cream, avocado, and cilantro

‍

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add 2 tsp oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan.
  2. Add the beans, salsa, and spices to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally until warmed through, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, and use a fork or potato masher to roughly mash, leaving ⅓ of the beans whole.
  3. Soften the tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 2 minutes. 
  4. To assemble the tacos, distribute the filling between each tortilla, sprinkle with cheese, and fold in half. 
  5. Wipe out the skillet with paper towel and set back over medium heat. 
  6. Heat the remaining oil in the pan and add the tacos in a single layer, frying for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Work in batches, if necessary. 
  7. Remove the tacos from the pan and serve immediately with sour cream, avocado, and cilantro.
