3/4 cups Mexican cheese blend

12 corn tortillas

4-6 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)

Directions

Make the Sauce:

Add all ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth.

Make the Tacos:

Heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Add two tortillas to the skillet and allow them to heat in the oil for about 10 seconds.

Cover one side of each tortilla with 1/4 cup of beans, and top beans with 1 tablespoon Mexican Cheese Blend.

Using a spatula, carefully fold the tortilla in half, on top of itself and press down with the spatula to shape the taco.

Cook 3-4 minutes, then using a spatula flip the tacos and cook an additional 3-4 minutes, until browned and crispy.

Continue the process until all the tacos are done, adding additional oil as the pan dries out.

Serve immediately.
