These are a great, simple little appetizer to serve to friends on a casual visit. Also very versatile, you can add pretty much anything that you would like! (black olives, green chiles, green onion, etc.)
Ingredients:
1 (1 cup) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup grated monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 cup chopped tomato
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil or 1/4 cup canola oil
4 fajita-size flour tortillas
sour cream (optional)
Directions:
1. On half of each tortilla, sprinkle 1/4 beans and cheese.
2. Heat half of oil in a large nonstick skillet to medium high.
3. Fold tortilla over filling, place carefully into skillet, 2 per batch (after making the first batch, add oil as needed to ensure a nice, golden brown color on the tortillas).
4. Cook 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown on each side.
5. Remove, pat dry with paper towels, place onto plate, cut into 4 wedges, and garnish with cilantro and tomato, with a dollop of sour cream on the side, if desired.
