Add the SIMPLi black beans to the slow cooker. Add 2 cups of water for every 1/4 cup of beans to the slow cooker. Season the beans with a pinch of salt & a generous drizzle of olive oil. Cover & turn the slow cooker on high for 6-8 hours or until the beans are fully cooked.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Add the cooked beans & mash the beans. Cook for 1-2 min.
Add the ground beef & taco seasoning. Break up the beef & brown the meat & beans for 5-6 min. Remove the beans & meat mixture from the pan & set aside.
Wipe out the pan & add another drizzle of olive oil. Add the tortillas to the pan. Add shredded cheese to one half of each tortilla. Top with the beef & bean mixture, then add the remaining shredded cheese. Close up each tortilla and flatten with your hands or a spatula. Cook for 3-4 min on each side on medium heat.
Serve the tortillas with sour cream & salsa. Top with fresh cilantro if you have any. Enjoy!
