Use canned cooked beans here. Dried beans require separate preparation and cannot be heated briefly as a direct substitute. Two small tortillas make one serving. Keep the filling in the center and avoid wet toppings that make tortillas split. You can serve the components on a plate for anyone who prefers to assemble their own tacos.
