US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Place black beans, salsa, lime juice, and taco seasoning into a food processor and pulse together until desired consistency is reached. I like a few chunks.
  • Taste and re-season, if necessary.
  • Place desired amount of filling into 1 tortilla and fold in half in create a taco*. Repeat with remaining filling/tortillas.
  • To pan fry: heat 2-4 tablespoons oil in a large pan until hot, then pan fry tacos until crispy, about 2-4 minutes per side.
  • To bake: preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Drizzle a rimmed baking sheet with about 1 tablespoon oil, place assembled tacos onto the baking sheet, then drizzle or brush the tops with more oil. Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until crispy.

Notes

*I used 5 1/2 - 6 inch tortillas which will make 10 tacos filled with 2 tablespoons filling. I did half corn, half flour. Whole wheat, low-carb, almond flour, etc. tortillas will work.
**Use something that melts well like a Mexican-style blend, cheddar, Monterey-jack, or pepper-jack. Use a vegan-variety, if necessary.
