Instructions
  1. 1
    Black Bean Tacos

    Preheat the oven to 400°F

    Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray and set it aside.

  2. 2

    Add the garlic to a food processor and pulse a few times to break it up.

  3. 3

    Add the beans, oats, cornmeal, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Process, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides. Continue until the mixture is well combined, about one minute. 

     

    If you don't have a food processor, mince the garlic, add the other ingredients, and mash with a potato masher until all the ingredients are combined.
  4. 4

    Crumble the bean mixture on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly coat with cooking spray and bake until firm and crisp on the bottom, about 10 to 15 minutes. Use a spatula to turn the mixture. Lightly coat again with cooking spray and return to the oven for an additional 10 to 15 minutes.

    Note: If the bean mixture becomes too dry, stir in 2 to 4 tablespoons of water.

    Meanwhile, stack the tortillas, wrap them loosely in foil, and place them in the oven to warm for 10 to 15 minutes.
