Remove the potatoes and place them in a food processor along with the garlic powder, onion powder, and maple syrup . Mash them until you get a smooth mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon the potato mixture into 3 or 4 balls. Flatten each ball with a wet spatula to make 3 or 4 mini tortillas. Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until lightly browned. Turn the parchment paper over onto a cutting board and carefully peel it off. Set the tortillas aside.
Add the cooked black beans, garlic powder, onion powder, chipotle powder, tomato paste, and lime juice to a small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat for 3 to 5 minutes, until the beans are tender. Add a little water if the mixture sticks to the pot.
To make the salsa, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
Fill the soft potato tortillas with the peppers, black beans, salsa, cilantro and green onions. Serve immediately.
