Preparation
Mise en place
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Halve, core and thinly slice the sweet pepper lengthwise.
- Juice the lime.
- Reserving the liquid, drain and rinse the black beans.
Sauté the sweet pepper
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium.
- Add the sweet pepper and sauté, 1 to 2 min., until beginning to soften.
- Add ¼ cup water, ½ the spices and S&P.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, 6 to 8 min., until softened and browned.
Make the refried beans
- Meanwhile, in a second large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium.
- Add the black beans, remaining spices and ¼ cup of the reserved bean liquid.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 min., until the beans are warmed through; mash the beans lightly.
- If the mixture seems dry, gradually add the remaining bean liquid until you achieve your desired consistency; season with S&P.
Warm the tortillas
- Arrange the tortillas on 2 lined sheet pans.
- Sprinkle with the cheese.
- Bake, 3 to 5 min., until the cheese has melted.

- In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, sweet pepper, lime juice, sour cream, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
Plate your dish

- Spread with the refried beans.
