Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 1 15.5-ounce can black beans, drained
- 1 11-ounce can corn kernels, drained
- ¾ cup salsa, drained
- 1 8-count package large flour tortillas
- 1½ cups (6 ounces) shredded Cheddar or Monterey Jack
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- ⅓ cup fresh cilantro leaves
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Juice of 1 to 2 limes
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 head romaine lettuce, sliced 1 inch thick
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400° F. In a medium bowl, combine the beans, corn, and salsa.
- Place 4 tortillas on a parchment- or foil-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with half the cheese. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the black bean mixture on top of the cheese.

Loved this recipe. I didn’t include the onions, cilantro, lettuce, lime, etc., and it still was a delicious dinner.
Wow! These are great! I couldn’t believe that there is no meat in them-they are so satisfying!! Thanks for posting this one! It is sure to become a staple in our family.
that’s what my husband said the first time we had them….at the end of the meal he looks at me and says, “you tricked me! I didn’t eat any meat and I’m full!” it’s a good recipe! 🙂
ps…I often just skip the lettuce with the homemade salsa portion of the recipe, rachel. you’re not alone! 🙂
