02 - In a small saucepan, warm the mashed black beans over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly heated. Keep them hot for serving.
03 - In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast each corn tortilla for about 1 minute per side until slightly crisp and warmed. Stack tortillas and cut into quarters. Cover with a clean kitchen towel to maintain warmth.
