Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.75 cups Warm water
- 1 cup Canned black beans
- 1 cup Canned kidney beans
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Cheese (optional, shredded)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, chopped)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the vegetable oil and warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing with a fork or your hands until the dough comes together.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, and chili powder to the skillet, stirring for 1 minute to bloom the spices.
Add the black beans and kidney beans to the skillet. Mash them slightly with a fork or potato masher to create a thick mixture, leaving some beans whole for texture.
Season the bean mixture with salt and cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through. Set aside.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
On a floured surface, use a rolling pin to flatten each ball into a thin, round tortilla approximately 6-8 inches in diameter.
Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until bubbles form and brown spots appear. Keep the tortillas warm under a clean kitchen towel.
To assemble, spoon a portion of the bean filling onto each tortilla. Sprinkle with cheese and cilantro, if using. Fold over or roll the tortilla to serve.
Enjoy your freshly made soft bean tortillas!
