Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 small onion, (chopped)

1 jalapeño pepper (minced, optional)

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 15-ounce can black beans, (drained and rinsed)

1 tablespoon tomato paste

1/4 cup water

8 corn tortillas, (warmed)

optional toppings: shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, cilantro lime crema, lime juice

Directions

Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.

Add onions, jalapeño (if using), cumin, salt, oregano, and smoked paprika. Stir and saute for 3-5 minutes, until onions have softened and become translucent.

Add garlic and saute for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
