Instructions:
Instructions: To make salsa: In a medium-size bowl, combine chili, tomatoes, bell pepper, lime juice and cilantro. Season to taste with salt. If made ahead, cover and let stand for up to 6 hours.

To make beans: Heat oil in a wide frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, until onion is soft and lightly browned.

Reserving1/2 cup of the liquid, drain and rinse black beans. Add beans to onion mixture with the1/2 cup liquid and the vinegar. Coarsely mash beans with a spoon or large fork.

To assemble tacos: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spoon Savory Black Beans onto a large ovenproof platter, spreading into about a 10 inch oval. Layer with corn and cheese.

Bake until heated through (about 10 minutes). Meanwhile, wrap tortillas in foil and heat in the oven until hot (about 10 minutes). Or, heat in a microwave oven (wrap tortillas in paper towels and loosely enclosed in plastic wrap; microwave on high until hot, 30 to 40 seconds).

Garnish bean mixture with avocado and cilantro. Spoon the mixture into tortillas. Serve with Tomato Salsa.

Note: Wear gloves when handling fresh chilies; the oils can cause a burning sensation on your skin.
