Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ large onion , diced* (buy pre-diced onions)
- 1½ teaspoons chili powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt , plus more as needed
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed*

Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until simmering. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in chili powder, cumin, and salt. Add beans and water.
- Cover pan and reduce heat to maintain a low simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, then uncover and use the back of a fork to partially mash the beans, leaving some whole. Simmer, uncovered, until all the water is evaporated, about 30 seconds. Taste and adjust seasoning, as needed.
- Cover tortillas with a damp paper towel and microwave in 30-second intervals until warm.
