Ingredients

  • 2 cups black beans drained, rinsed, and heated up
  • ½ cup red onion diced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder optional
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper ground
  • 2 TBS cilantro chopped
  • 5 ounces pepper jack cheese grated
  • 2 TBS olive oil
  • 10 corn tortillas
Optional Garnishes
  • hot sauce
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • salsa
  • sour cream or Greek yogurt

Notes

  • *Be sure to lay each tortilla down in the pan and heat for a few seconds before you put the filling inside.  I thought maybe it would be easier to make them on the counter, and then put them into the pan, but all of my corn tortillas broke in half at the fold.* 
  • **These photos were taken after the tacos were already cooked. You should only have 2-3 in the pan at a time as detailed in above directions.
