For the Tacos:
Olive oil cooking spray
3 cloves garlic
3 1/2 cups canned black Beans, rinsed and drained

1 Tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. kosher salt

Using a food processor, chop garlic. Add beans, oats, cornmeal, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper; process, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides. Continue until the mixture is combined, about one minute.
Crumble bean mixture on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly coat with cooking spray and bake until firm and crisp on the bottom, about 10 to 15 minutes. Use a spatula to turn the mixture. Lightly coat again with cooking spray and return to oven for an additional 10 to 15 minutes.
Note: If the bean mixture gets too dry, stir in a couple of tablespoons of water.
Meanwhile, Stack the tortillas, wrap them in foil and keep them warm in the oven for about 10 to 15 minutes.
