2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp smoked paprika
2 cans (15 oz each) black beans, drained and rinsed
⅓ cup water
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp fresh lime juice

3 medium roma tomatoes, finely diced
¼ cup white onion, finely diced
1 jalapeño, seeded and finely diced
¼ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Arrange the corn tortillas in a single layer across one or two baking sheets. Brush both sides of each tortilla lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
2
Bake the tortillas for 8–10 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until they are golden at the edges and rigid when lifted — they should snap rather than bend. Transfer to a wire rack and set aside.
