Add half of the black beas to a bowl, and using the back of a spoon or a potato masher, mash the beans into a paste.
Add the salsa and stir well.
Heat a griddle on medium heat, or you can use a 10 inch or larger skillet over medium heat on the stove if you don’t have a griddle.
Set a tortilla on the griddle, and spoon ¼ of the mixture onto one side, then spread over half of the tortilla.
Add ¼ of the remaining black beans all over on top of the bean and salsa mixture..
Sprinkle ½ cup of cheese over the beans and salsa.
Fold the other half of the tortilla onto the half covered in ingredients, and grill for 3-5 minutes, or until one side is golden.
Carefully flip the tortilla over, and cook the other side until golden.
