Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, gently combine diced avocados, tomato, red onion, lime juice, cilantro, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix carefully to avoid mashing the avocado. Set aside while you prepare the beans.

  2. 2

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add the drained black beans to the skillet along with cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir well to coat the beans with spices and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and flavors are well combined.

  4. 4

    While the beans finish cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or wrap them in damp paper towels and microwave for 30-45 seconds.

  5. 5

    Place a generous spoonful of seasoned black beans onto each warm tortilla. Top with the fresh avocado salsa and serve immediately while everything is at its best temperature and texture.
