Instructions
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the black beans, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and cook for 3–5 minutes until warmed through. Remove from heat.
Dice the avocados, half the red onion, and slice the cherry tomatoes in halves or quarters, depending on size.
Chop the fresh cilantro and set it aside.

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or until they are pliable and lightly charred. Alternatively, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20–30 seconds.
To assemble the tacos, start by layering the black beans on the warm tortillas.
Top the beans with diced avocado, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Drizzle freshly squeezed lime juice over the toppings and add a dash of hot sauce if desired.
