Preparation

Black Beans

Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet and cook the onion for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the garlic, cumin and salt and cook for a further 2 minutes. Add the black beans and continue cooking for 1 minute.
Add tomato paste and water and stir well. Using a wooden spoon, lightly mash the black beans into a paste that will spread well over the tortillas.

Jalapeno Mayo

Place all mayo ingredients in a narrow container. Using a hand blender, blend all ingredients until very smooth.

Assembly

Lay the tortillas out on a work surface. Spread about 1/4 cup (60 ml) black bean mixture on one half of each tortilla. Add a little crushed avocado and grated cheese. Close tortillas and press lightly.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat a little oil over medium-high heat and cook the tortillas for about 3 minutes on each side. Serve with jalapeno mayo.
