- 4 mL (¾ tsp) chili powder
- 1 can (540 mL/19 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 125 mL (½ cup) medium or hot salsa
- 1 mL (¼ tsp) grated lime zest

Cut each tortilla into 8 wedges and place in a resealable plastic bag. Spray tortillas with cooking spray and sprinkle with chili powder; seal and shake bag to coat tortilla wedges. Place on large baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for about 8 minutes or until golden and crisp. Let cool completely before using.
In a food processor, purée beans, salsa, lime zest, lime juice, shallot, cumin and pepper until smooth. Scrape into bowl and stir in cilantro and basil, if using.
