Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1 avocado sliced, to serve

  4. Fill each tortilla with the beans and top with avocado, cilantro, salsa and a squeeze of lime.
