Black Bean Tacos XP

Ingredients
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic cloves, minced
1-1/2 teaspoons canola oil
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup salsa
1-1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon pepper
4 (6 inch) flour tortillas, warmed
1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese


In a nonstick skillet, saute onion and garlic in oil until tender. Stir in the beans, salsa and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 3-5 minutes or until mixture begins to thicken. Spoon about 1/2 cup off center on each tortilla; sprinkle with cheese. Fold one side of tortilla over filling.

The purpose of this lab was to make a healthy meal for an adult. I learned how to mix ingredients in a skillet. My group functioned very well. My sensory perception was it was very spicy. To make this recipe healthier, I would use a healthier cheese. To make this recipe taste better, I would have used less chili powder. Overall, I would give this lab a grade of a 100. My role in the lab was combine the ingredients and prepare the tacos and I used my taco making skills. ;)
