1 Lime

1 Large pinch of fine sea salt
1 Small pinch of sugar
2 tablespoons For the black beans: olive oil, plus more as needed
1 Large onion,chopped
1/2 cup diced red or green bell pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1/2 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 15 ounce cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1 Fine sea salt
12 Corn tortillas, warmed
1 avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced
1 fresh cilantro, salda and sour cream for garnish

Steps:

Make the spicy onions: Squeeze the lime into a bowl and add the onion or shallot, jalapeño, salt and sugar to the juice. Set aside while you make the black beans.
Prepare the beans: Heat a large skillet, then add 2 tablespoons oil. When oil is hot, add the onion and bell pepper and sauté until soft and golden, about 10 minutes. If the pan looks dry, drizzle in a little more oil.
Add the garlic and jalapeño and sauté until fragrant, 1 minute. Stir in tomato paste, chili powder, oregano and cumin, and sauté until fragrant. Add the beans and a few large pinches of salt and let simmer until the flavors meld, about 15 minutes.
Taste and add more salt, chili powder and oregano to taste. Serve beans with tortillas and avocado and top with the pickled onions and jalapeño and some of their liquid, adding any of the garnishes you like.
