Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 Flour tortillas
- 1 cup Black beans (cooked and drained)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped)
- 2 Green onions (sliced)
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
- 0.5 cup Salsa (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine black beans, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, cumin powder, chili powder, and salt. Mix well to create the filling.
Lay a flour tortilla flat on a cutting board. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling onto one half of the tortilla and spread it evenly, leaving a small border around the edges.
Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape, pressing firmly to seal the edges. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut each folded tortilla into two triangles.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, place the triangles in the skillet, working in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Cook the triangles for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted. Add more olive oil to the skillet as needed for additional batches.
Transfer the cooked triangles to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
