Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 8 small flour or corn tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions
- Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, then wrap them in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.

- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To assemble the tacos, spoon the mushroom and black bean mixture onto the warm tortillas. Top with shredded cheese, if using, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
- Serve with salsa, sliced avocado, and lime wedges on the side.
