Drain and season the black beans, then sear them over medium-high heat until well browned, about 5 minutes.

Add the jalapeno, cooking until softened, about 4 minutes.

Stir in the salsa verde and cotija cheese for a final minute.

Warm the refried beans separately.

Let the beans simmer for about 8 minutes so the flavors meld.

Fold in the avocado and cilantro just before serving.

Serve hot over the refried beans, garnished with fresh herbs.
