Description

Quick tacos for grab and go meals.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can black beans, drained
  • 2 packages shredded cheddar cheese or 2 1/2 cups
  • 1 small bunch cilantro, roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 pinch each salt and black pepper
  • taco/street taco sized tortillas (I used flour and corn)
  • olive oil or cooking spray
  • your favorite salsa, at least 1 cup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400F. Drizzle a sheet pan with olive oil or spray cooking spray over the whole pan and set aside.
  2. In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the beans, cheese, cilantro, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons salsa. Mix until fully combine.
  3. Heat up the tortillas slightly – either in the microwave covered or in a pan on the stove. Just heat through until it’s soft and more workable so that it doesn’t crack or break when folded.
  4. Place 1-2  heaping tablespoons of the bean and cheese mixture on one side of a tortilla. Fold the other half over and transfer to the prepared pan. Repeat until all the bean and cheese mixture is used.
  5. Drizzle the tops of the folded tortillas with olive oil or cooking spray.
  6. Bake for 8 minutes or until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese is melted. Remove and plate.
  7. Mix together the salsa and sour cream for a fun dip. Enjoy the tacos warm.

Notes

The tortillas may not stay folded. Place in your oven for 2 minutes and then press them down slightly. Once the cheese beings to melt, they will stay folded.
