    Prepare the Beans

    Rinse and drain the black beans. In a large bowl, mash them slightly with a fork, leaving some whole for texture.

    Add diced red onion, chopped jalapeño, and fresh cilantro to the mashed black beans.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Pour this dressing over the bean mixture and stir gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Fold in Avocado

    Carefully fold in the diced avocado to the mixture, being careful not to mash it.

  5. 5

    Serve
