Instructions

  1. Drain and rinse 1 can of black beans in a colander.

  2. Heat the beans in a saucepan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warmed through.

  3. Season the warm beans with salt, pepper, and optional cumin or chili powder to taste (about 1/2 tsp cumin or 1/4 tsp chili powder total).

  4. Warm tortillas using one of these methods: directly over a gas flame for 10-15 seconds per side until lightly charred, in a dry skillet over medium heat for 20-30 seconds per side until soft and warm, or wrapped in a damp paper towel and microwaved for 30 seconds.

  5. Place approximately 1/4 cup warm beans in the center of each tortilla.

  6. Add toppings: diced tomatoes, 2 tbsp salsa, cheese, sliced avocado, or any other preferred toppings.

  7. Fold tortillas and serve immediately.

💡 Notes

  • Budget-friendly, quick, and very flexible with toppings.
  • Extra beans can be refrigerated for 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
