Equipment

  • oven
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • Mixing bowl
  • Fork

Ingredients
  

  • 1 15 oz can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack, or a mix
  • ½ cup salsa jarred or fresh
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder or taco seasoning, optional
  • 6 medium flour tortillas
  • Cooking spray or a little butter/oil for brushing

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, mash half the black beans with a fork. Stir in remaining beans, 1 cup shredded cheese, ½ cup salsa, and ½ teaspoon seasoning.
  • Lay 3 tortillas flat on the baking sheet. Divide the bean mixture evenly, spreading to cover. Top with the remaining 3 tortillas.
  • Brush tops with oil and bake for 15-17 minutes, until golden and melted.
  • Slice into wedges and serve with sour cream, guacamole, or extra salsa.

Notes

Mash only half the beans for the best texture. Add frozen corn or spinach for more veggies. For extra flavor, swap salsa for taco sauce or enchilada sauce. Use any cheese you like - cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a mix. Leftovers make great lunchbox fillers.
