- In a food processor or chopper, blend the beans, salsa and taco seasoning. Transfer to a skillet with a drizzle of oil and cook for about 5 minutes to soften the flavours.
- Spread a few tablespoons of the black bean filling onto a flour tortilla and fold in half. Repeat until the filling is used up (about 6-8 tacos).
