Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Place the ingredients for the onion salsa in a bowl and stir together. Season to taste. Cover and chill until needed. Do the same for the avocado salsa.
Put the black beans, cheese, cumin, lime juice and freshly ground black pepper and good pinch of sea salt in a bowl and stir gently to combine.
Divide the black-bean mixture between the tortillas and fold each in half. In a large frying pan, over a medium heat, add the oil and cook the tortillas, two at a time, for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden on both sides. Serve with the the two salsas and sour cream. 1
