Ingredients
Method
- Chop the vegetables and rinse the black beans to prepare the ingredients.
- Sauté onions in olive oil over medium heat until translucent, then stir in the jalapeño, garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, hot sauce, and tomatoes.
- Stir the drained black beans into the skillet and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Layer the black bean mixture, cheese, sour cream, romaine lettuce, and optional avocado slices on a burrito-size tortilla, then top with a tostada.
- Place a small fajita tortilla on top and fold the edges of the larger tortilla inward to encase the filling.
- Heat a clean pan over medium heat, place the wrap seam-side down to seal, and cook for 2–3 minutes until golden brown before flipping to toast the other side for 3 minutes.
