# Instructions:
01 -
Get your oven hot at 450°F with the rack in the middle. Have all your stuff ready and chopped before you start cooking.
02 -
Put 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Toss in your chopped onion with 1 teaspoon salt and cook till soft and clear, about 3-4 minutes.
03 -
Mix in your garlic and chipotle, letting them cook for half a minute. Then add your spices and tomato paste, cooking for another 1-2 minutes till they smell good.
04 -
Dump in your black beans and mix with the spiced onion mix. Pour in veggie stock, let it bubble while smashing some beans lightly. Cook till it gets thick, then squeeze in lime juice and add salt and pepper as needed.
05 -
Take your corn tortillas, wrap them in a wet paper towel, and zap them in the microwave for 30 seconds till they're soft and bendy.
06 -
Rub the rest of your olive oil on a baking sheet. Put tortillas on it, making sure oil gets on both sides. Fill one half with your bean mix and cheese, then fold them over.
07 -
Stick them in the oven for 8-10 minutes, then flip them carefully and cook another 8-10 minutes till they're golden and crunchy. Let them cool for 2-3 minutes before you eat.
# Notes:
01 -
You can keep any extras in a sealed container for up to 3 days
02 -
Go for the really soft, thin corn tortillas so they don't break
03 -
You can chop everything up to 5 days ahead so it's quicker to put together
