Step 1

In a medium size saucepan add the black beans, spices and crushed tomatoes. Cook over medium low heat stirring until heated through.

Mash some of the beans by pressing against the side of the pot with your spoon. This will make a thick mixture.

Lay a corn tortilla in the skillet and spread approximately 2-3 tablespoons of bean mixture on half of the tortilla, top with shredded cheese and a shake or two of hot sauce if desired.

Step 5

Fold the tortilla in half using fork or spatula.

Step 6

Continue to fry until the bottom of the tortilla is crisp and golden. Then flip and fry the other side until crisp and golden.

Step 7

Remove taco to plate lined with paper towel.
