Ingredients

  • 1 (15 ounce) can great Northern beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1 cup diced tomatoes, divided

  • 1 clove garlic

  • ⅓ cup nutritional yeast

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder

  • salt to taste

  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

  • ½ cup black beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed

  • 8 whole grain tortillas

Directions

  1. Blend great Northern beans, 3/4 cup tomatoes, and garlic in a food processor until smooth. Add nutritional yeast, cumin, chili powder, salt, and cayenne pepper and blend until combined.

  2. Transfer bean mixture to a large bowl. Stir in black beans and remaining 1/4 cup tomatoes.
