Black Bean Soft Tacos

Good Morning!  I thought that I would share a recipe that I've been loving lately:  Black Bean Soft Tacos.  I found the original at Allrecipes.com and modified it a bit.

Ingredients:

• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced (sometimes I just use the minced garlic that comes in a jar)
• 1 tablespoon oil (it calls for canola, but I usually use EVOO because it's handy)
• 2 cans (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes w/ green chilies ("Rotel" tomatoes)
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 (6-inch) flour tortillas, warmed
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

1. In a nonstick skillet, saute' onion and garlic in oil until tender.
2. Stir in beans, tomatoes, chilies, and seasonings.
3. Bring to a boil.
4. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 3-5 minutes or until mixture begins to thicken.
5. Spoon 1/2 cup of mixture onto each flour tortilla and sprinkle with cheese.

These are so good and if you replace the tortilla with a few tortilla chips, a little lettuce, and some salsa--you have a bean taco salad!    So good!  I even like to make extra because it freezes well.

Enjoy!
