Add the black beans to the skillet and mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are warmed through and slightly mashed. Stir in the chopped cilantro and remove from heat.
In a medium bowl, prepare the avocado salsa by mashing the avocados with a fork. Add the lime juice, diced tomatoes, jalapeño (if using), and salt. Mix until well combined.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
