Refried beans anchor each serving—cook the black beans with garlic and chili-lime spices, and then partially mash them to vary the texture.

Preparation
Bake the tortillas
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Arrange the tortillas on a lined sheet pan and brush with oil; season with S&P. Bake, 4 to 6 min., until beginning to brown. Allow to cool slightly.
Make the refried beans
Meanwhile, drain and rinse the black beans. In a medium pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the black beans, ¼ cup water (double for 4 portions), all but a pinch of the spices and S&P. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 min., until the liquid has reduced by about ¾. Off the heat, mash ½.
Make the pico de gallo
Medium-dice the cucumbers and tomatoes. Pick the cilantro leaves off the stems. In a medium bowl, combine the cucumbers, tomatoes, vinegar, ½ the cilantro, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
Make the spiced sour cream & serve
In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, 1 tsp water (double for 4 portions), the remaining spices and S&P. Divide the tortillas between your plates. Spread with the spiced sour cream. Top with the refried beans, pico de gallo and cheese. Garnish with the remaining cilantro. Bon appétit!
