Instructions

Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1 1/2 cups cooked black beans, 1 tbsp minced chipotle in adobo sauce, 1 tsp ground cumin, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Stir and cook for 5-6 minutes until the beans are warmed through and smoky aromas develop.
Step 2: Warm 6 small corn tortillas on a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side until pliable and slightly toasted.
Step 3: Divide the chipotle black beans evenly among the tortillas, spooning generous portions down the center.
Step 4: Top each taco with 1/4 cup finely diced red onion, 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, 1/3 cup crumbled queso fresco, and slices from 1 small avocado.
Step 5: Serve immediately with lime wedges to squeeze over the tacos for a fresh, tangy finish.
