Ingredients
  

  • 1 Jalapeño minced
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Juice
  • 2 tablespoons Hot Sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 15 oz can Canned Black Beans rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Thinly Sliced Scallions
  • 1 cup Shredded Mexican Cheese
  • 10 Corn Tortilla
  • Olive Oil for brushing

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the jalapeno, garlic, lime juice, hot sauce, all spice, chili powder, cumin, salt and black beans. Using a potato masher or wooden spoon, mash up the mixture so that most of the beans are smashed. Add more salt if needed.
  • Mix the scallions and cilantro into the bean mixture.
  • Soften the tortillas by placing 2-3 tortillas at a time between two damp paper towels and microwaving on a covered plate for 20-30 seconds.
  • Place 1-2 Tablespoons of bean filling in the center of a tortilla. Sprinkle with cheese and roll tightly.
  • Place the tortilla seam side down on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Be sure to leave space between the tortillas.
  • Brush the tortillas with oil on the tops and sides of the rolls.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  • Serve warm with salsa, guacamole, sour cream, ranch dip or enchilada sauce.

Notes

  • Hot sauces and jalapenos vary in spice level, so be sure to adjust the amount to your taste.
  • Try to keep the cheese in the center when filling so it doesn’t ooze out.
  • Work quickly while the tortillas are warm so you can roll tightly without forming cracks.
  • To freeze for later, bake halfway, cool and freeze in an airtight container. Bake for about 10 minutes at 400°F when ready to serve.
