Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the broiler.

Step 2

Puree the black beans, chili powder, cumin, cayenne and ½ tbsp olive oil in a blender or food processor, adding a tablespoon of water at a time to help the mixture move. I pureed for a minute or two but still left some texture.

Step 3

With an immersion blender, puree the cilantro, yogurt, garlic, and salt.

Step 4

Place tortillas in the oven directly on the rack, taking care that the edges are supported (otherwise they will bend through the cracks and it will be bent in a funny shape). Let the tortillas bake for 3-5 minutes on both sides until they are browned and crispy.

Step 5

Top the crispy tortillas with black beans, tomatoes, avocados, and lettuce. Drizzle with cilantro sauce.
