    Crispy Oven Corn Tortillas

    Cut tortillas into wedges or large strips. Lay out on cookie sheet sprayed with olive oil cooking spray. Then spray the tortillas with olive oil cooking spray and sprinkle with cumin and garlic powder. Cook under the broiler until crispy.

    I cook them up with some sauteed onions, veggies (Whole roots frozen grilled veggies-peppers, zucchini) and add in some spinach and a tbsp of tomato sauce or Salsa. Add in some Tex Mex seasoning.
    They can then be added to an Ezekiel Wrap with some Salsa and avocado. The Kids love them with some cheese in them too.

    I then take the leftovers, heat them up slightly.
    Add to chopped Romaine, spinach. Add in chopped avocado, tomato. Add leftover Black Bean mix.

    Dressing
    Tbsp greek Yogurt
    3 Tbsp Mango Peach Salsa (or any other kind)
    1/2 tsp Cumin

    Its like a Tex mex Salad!.

    I also substitute Pinto Beans sometimes.

    Finally made some black bean cake last night and it came out pretty good. Super easy to do.

    Used:
    chocolate cake mix
    can of black beans
    1/4 cup of applesauce

    blend beans to smooth paste
    add dry cake mix
    add applesauce
    mix - it was super thick and almost killed my blender
    put in baking dish, top with chocolate chips
    bake 350* for 45 mins

    I could smell the beans, but otherwise it was super rich and tasty. Not bad.

    But I pretty much will replace ground beef with black beans in any recipe.

    Mine is super easy and boring (to some). I like black beans with rice and fresh pico on top. YUM! I had this for lunch two days in a row :)

    Sometimes I make black bean soup but otherwise, I'm not that creative... I guess I should check out some of the other responses here for more ideas!

    I throw chicken breasts in the crockpot with fresh salsa for about four hours. A half hour or so before time is up, I drain a can of black beans and mix it in. Serve with a green salad. Easy and awesome!
