Creating Crispy Black Bean Tacos can be a breeze if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, mash the black beans slightly using a fork or potato masher. Add olive oil, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

2. Heat the Tortillas: In a skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas one at a time for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.

3. Fry the Tortillas: In a frying pan, heat enough cooking oil to lightly coat the bottom over medium-high heat. Carefully add the warmed tortillas to the oil, frying each side until crispy. This should take about 1-2 minutes. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.

4. Fill the Tacos: Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the black bean mixture into each crispy tortilla.

5. Add Toppings: Top the filled tacos with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, and cheese.

6. Garnish and Serve: Finish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges for an added burst of flavor.

7. Enjoy: Gather your friends or family and enjoy your homemade Crispy Black Bean Tacos fresh!
