Notes
Tips & Tricks: The original recipe called for grilling the avocado (this version can be found here). I’ve found over the years that it wasn’t worth making another pan dirty. This new version reflects the updated, easier recipe.
I recommend making your black beans from dried beans and storing in the cooking liquid. It's easier to control the sodium amount and flavor of the beans.
