Step 1

Wash and dry the fresh produce: 1/2 small pkg grape tomatoes, 1/2 small bunch cilantro, 1 avocado, 1 lime.

Step 2

Small dice the tomatoes and transfer to a medium bowl.

Step 3

Halve the avocado lengthwise and twist the halves to separate, then remove the pit with a knife or spoon; scoop out and small dice the flesh. Add to the tomatoes.

Step 4

Using a knife, shave the cilantro leaves off the stems at a downward angle, working away from your body; discard the stems and finely chop the leaves. Add 1/2 of the cilantro to the bowl with the tomatoes and avocado and transfer the other 1/2 to a small bowl.

Step 5

Preheat a skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

While the skillet heats up, trim off and discard the ends of the onion and remove the outer layer; small dice the onion (cut into 6-mm pieces). Transfer 1/2 of the onion to the bowl with the salsa ingredients and leave the rest on the cutting board.

Step 7

Once the skillet is heated, add 1/2 tbsp coconut oil and swirl to coat the bottom.

Step 8

Add the remaining onion to the skillet; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 9

While the onion cooks, drain and rinse the black beans in a colander.

Step 10

Add more coconut oil (1/2 tbsp) to the skillet, followed by the beans and remaining cilantro.

Step 11

Season the bean mixture with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper; stir until fragrant, 15 to 30 seconds. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are warmed through, 2 to 4 minutes. Mash some of the beans with a fork if desired.

Step 12

Wrap the tortillas in a damp towel and microwave until heated through, 15 to 30 seconds.

Step 13

Juice the lime; drizzle 1/2 of the lime juice over the beans and add the rest to the bowl with the salsa ingredients.

Step 14

Season the salsa with salt and pepper; mix together.

Step 15

To serve, place the bean mixture into the tortillas and top with the salsa. Enjoy!
