Drain and rinse the black beans, and set them aside.
Finely dice the onion and garlic. Dice the jalapeño pepper, removing the seeds for less heat if desired.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Add the garlic and jalapeño to the skillet, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 30 seconds to bloom the spices.
Add the black beans and diced tomatoes to the skillet. Stir to combine everything evenly.
Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Remove from heat and stir in freshly chopped cilantro.
Squeeze the juice of one lime over the top and give the dish a final stir.
Serve hot as a main dish with rice, or as a side dish to complement a meal. Enjoy!
