Instructions

Step 1: In a medium skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 can (15 oz) drained black beans, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp chili powder, and 1/2 tsp salt; stir and cook for 5 minutes until beans are heated through and fragrant.

Step 3: Warm 8 corn tortillas on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until pliable and lightly toasted.
