Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees and bring a medium/large pot of water to a simmer.

In a pan, heat oil over medium heat. Saute onion and pepper until onion becomes translucent. Stir in garlic, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper and salt, and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes more. Add in black beans and cilantro, cooking until beans are heated through- two to three minutes more.

Turn off pot of water. Taking one corn tortilla at a time, dip in hot water for just a minute to soften. Place tortilla on a cutting board and scoop one spoonful of black bean filling and a hefty pinch of the cheese on top. Roll tightly and place seam side down on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper. Repeat until all the filling is used. Brush each piece with oil.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until the corn tortillas are a light brown color.
