Baked Corn Tortillas Filled With Bean & Cheese Recipe

Preparation and Baking

1. 1

   Prepare the Filling

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cumin, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.

2. 2

   Add Beans and Seasoning

   Add the canned black beans (drained and rinsed) to the skillet. Mash some of the beans gently with a fork while stirring. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat when heated through.

3. 3

   Add Cheese and Cilantro

   Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped cilantro into the bean mixture until well combined. Set aside to cool slightly.

4. 4

   Assemble the Tortillas

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take a corn tortilla and place about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling in the center. Fold the tortilla in half to create a pocket and place it seam side down on a baking sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas.

5. 5

   Bake the Tortillas

   Once all tortillas are filled and placed on the baking sheet, bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
