Ingredients

1. 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed well (we used Goya brand)
2. 2 medium sized tomatoes cut into small pieces
3. Leafy lettuce, finely chopped. Optionally, mixed salad greens
4. Finely chopped cilantro, optional
5. 1 cup freshly grated cheddar
6. Flour tortillas
7. 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
8. Taco sauce
9. 1 cup plain yogurt

Method

Keep the beans, chopped tomatoes and lettuce and grated cheese in separate bowls so you can put them on the flour tortilla when making the tacos.

Add olive oil to a skillet or frying pan so it makes about a 1/4 inch deep layer. Heat on medium heat. Avoid overheating otherwise the oil will smoke. Pan fry a single flour tortilla until it turns light brown and slightly crispy, but still maintains some of its softness. Remove from pan and place between two paper towels to remove excess oil. Complete frying the remaining tortillas.

To make the taco, place one fried tortilla flat on a plate. Spread a layer of black beans, chopped tomatoes, lettuce and grated cheese. Add cilantro for extra flavor. Top it up with a layer of taco sauce. Fold and enjoy! Serve with yogurt instead of sour cream to avoid the saturated fat and cholesterol.
