Tortilla Time

By Momma Chef

When my friend called to ask if I would like to try a delicious recipe that would be perfect for Momma Chef’s website, I most definitely said yes! Especially since this friend, Jordan, is an amazing cook. I knew this would be a recipe I wanted to get online ASAP. When I asked him if he had taken any photos, he explained that he wasn’t able to get any since his wife and daughters finished the entire dish. Within one week of getting this recipe, I had tried it, fed it to my family, and put it on my website. This is a vegetarian version, but you can add ½ cup shredded chicken or ground beef to the black-bean mixture.
