How to make it

Tick off as you go

  1. Step 1: Thinly slice the red onion and toss it with the juice of one lime and a pinch of salt. It softens while you cook.

  2. Step 2: Drain and rinse the beans. Warm them in a pan with half the salsa (½ cup) and a splash of water for 5 minutes, mashing a few against the pan so the sauce thickens.

  3. Step 3: Warm the tortillas 6 at a time: wrap them in a damp clean towel and microwave for about 1 minute (or warm 2 or 3 at a time in a dry hot pan, about 30 seconds a side). Keep them wrapped.

  4. Step 4: Slice the avocado, chop the cilantro and cut the other lime into wedges.

  5. Step 5: Fill the tortillas with the beans and top with the onion, avocado, cotija, cilantro and the rest of the salsa.

Tip: Warm corn tortillas right before you eat; cold ones crack when you fold them.
