1 onion chopped
2 garlic cloves chopped 
1/2 tbsp smoked paprika
1/2 tbsp ground cumin
3 tbsp cider vinegar
2 tbsp clear honey 
1 400g can black beans , rinsed and drained

choose a few toppings- chopped tomatoes, sliced red onion, diced avocado, sliced jalapeno peppers, coriander sprigs

crème fraîche or Tabasco chipotle sauce, to serve 


Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 200c. Brush tortillas with a little oil and place in a single layer on baking sheets. Cook for 8 mins until crisp.
  2. In a large frying pan, heat remaining oil. Add the onion and garlic, and cook for 5 mins. Add the spices, vinegar and honey. Cook for 2 mins more. Add the beans and seasoning, and heat through.
  3. Remove from the heat and mash the beans gently with the back of your spoon to a chunky purée. Spread some beans over the crispy corn tortillas, scatter with your choice of toppings and add a spoonful of crème fraîche to cool down, or a splash of chipotle Tabasco to spice it up.
