Instructions

Drain and season the black beans, then braise them over medium-high heat until well browned, about 7 minutes.

Add the jalapeno, corn and lime, cooking until softened, about 4 minutes.

Stir in the chipotle in adobo, cotija cheese and lime juice for 4 minutes.

Warm the flour tortillas separately.

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

Squeeze the lime over just before serving.

Serve hot over the flour tortillas, garnished with fresh herbs.
