Instructions

1. 1.
   In a small pan over medium heat, add the black beans. Sprinkle with chili powder and stir gently to coat the beans evenly. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until heated through and the chili aroma is released. If the beans seem dry, add a teaspoon of water to create a slight sauce. This keeps the beans moist and flavorful.
2. 2.
   While the beans are cooking, prepare the avocado and tomatoes. Dice the avocado, ensuring to cut evenly to match the size of the cherry tomato halves. This creates a uniform texture and flavor balance in each bite.
3. 3.
   In a small bowl, combine the avocado and tomatoes. Drizzle with lime juice, ensuring all pieces are lightly coated. The acidity from the lime enhances the flavors and prevents the avocado from browning. Gently toss to mix.
4. 4.
   Once the beans are heated, remove from the stove and begin plating. Spoon the beans into a serving bowl as the base. Arrange the avocado and tomato mixture on top for a visually appealing presentation.
5. 5.
   Serve immediately while the beans are warm and the avocado and tomatoes are fresh. The combination of textures, from creamy avocado to the slight crunch of tomatoes, along with the spiced beans, makes for a satisfying single-serve meal. Add a pinch more chili powder on top if you desire extra heat.
