INSTRUCTIONS
Soak beans overnight in cold water to cover. Drain and place beans in large pot. In a large skillet over moderately low heat, warm oil. Add onions and garlic and saute until fragrant (about 3 minutes). Add to beans. Add cumin and oregano and enough cold water to cover. Over high heat bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Cook until beans are just tender (about 1-1/2 hours). Season with salt. Cool, cover, and refrigerate for up to 2 days, if desired. To steam tortillas: Wrap tortillas in a damp tea towel and heat over simmering water. To fry tortillas: Fry on both sides on a griddle or in a lightly oiled skillet, then stack and wrap in napkins. To serve, reheat beans; taste and reseason if necessary. Place a scoop of hot beans on each tortilla and top with 2 tablespoons salsa. Either roll tortillas or serve open-faced with the chili on the side. Or, serve beans and tortillas family style, allowing guests to make their own soft tacos.
