This recipe comes from Vegetarian Times, and it's a good one.

Ingredients:
8 soft corn tortillas

Black Bean Filling
  • 1 TBS olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small white onion
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
  • 2 15-ounce cans black beans, drained not rinsed
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 2 TBS tomato paste
  • salt to taste
  • Warm Salsa Verde
  • 12 tomatillos, husked and halved
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 TBS olive oil
  • 1 small white onion, minced
  • 1 14-ounce can vegetable broth
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • salt to taste
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • cilantro for garnish
  • Instructions:
    1. Wrap tortillas in aluminum foil and heat in oven at 275 degrees until filling and sauce is ready.
    2. To make black bean filling: Heat oil in a large skillet, and add garlic and onion. Add jalepeno. Cook for several minutes. Add beans and mash with the back of a fork. Stir in cumin and tomato paste. Season with salt.
    3. To make salsa verde: Place tomatillos in a food processor, pulse to coarse paste. Heat garlic in oil over medium heat in a large saucepan. Add onions and jalapeno.
    4. Cook for several minutes, then add tomatillos. Stir with onion for 5 minutes. Add veggie broth and seasonings.
    5. Scoop the flesh out of the avocado and remove seed and skin. Mash the avocado into the salsa mixture. Return to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and keep warm.
    6. Scoop some bean sauce onto bottom of a casserole dish. Place several scoops of sauce down the center of tortillas, then roll them up. Place them seam side down on the sauce in the casserole.
    7. Line them up, then top with remaining sauce and some grated soy cheese. Heat under a broiler until melted. Serve immediately with warm salsa verde on top.
