Directions

  1. Cook 1 diced onion in olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until tender. Add 1 minced clove garlic and cook 1 minute. Stir in 2 teaspoons chili powder and 1 teaspoon cumin. Add a 4-ounce can diced green chiles, a 15-ounce can black beans (drained and rinsed), 1/2 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon each kosher salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat and cook, stirring, until the liquid evaporates, about 8 minutes. Spoon the bean mixture into Little Gem lettuce leaves; top with crema, diced avocado, chopped pickled jalapeños, diced red onion, chopped cilantro and cotija cheese.
