Steps

1Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.

2Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

3Add the canned beans (drained and rinsed) to the pan. Mash some of the beans with the back of a spoon to create a chunky consistency, leaving some whole.

4Stir in cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix in 1/2 cup of the salsa and simmer for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

5Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat, about 30 seconds per side, until pliable.

6Lay a warm tortilla flat on your work surface. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the bean mixture onto the lower third of the tortilla. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup shredded cheese.

7Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up and over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to enclose. Place seam-side down on a plate.

8Repeat with remaining tortillas, filling, and cheese.

9Serve immediately with the remaining salsa.
