Ingredients

• 2 (14-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 1/3 cup salsa
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1 1/2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, grated
• Small flour tortillas
• Olive oil, as needed
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Preparation

1. In a food processor, pulse the black beans, taco seasoning, salsa, and lime juice until finely chopped and well combined.
2. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the black bean mixture and cook for about 5 minutes, just long enough to cook out some liquid and deepen the flavors. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3. Spread a few tablespoons of the black bean mixture in each tortilla and top with Monterey Jack cheese. Fold the tortilla in half.
4. To cook on the stovetop: Heat some olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the tacos on both sides until crispy and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
5. To bake: Brush each side of the taco with olive oil and arrange them on a sheet pan. Bake in a pre-heated 450°F oven for 8-10 minutes. Flip the tacos, return them to the oven, and bake for another 8-10 minutes. Let them stand for 3 minutes before serving.
6. Serve these delicious Crispy Black Bean Tacos with sour cream, guacamole, cilantro, and/or salsa. Enjoy!
