Instructions
For the radish salsa:
- Thinly slice and quarter the radishes. Thinly slice the green onions. Seed and dice the jalapeño pepper (be sure to keep the juice away from the eyes). Chop the cilantro.
- Mix the cilantro with radishes, green onions, jalapeño pepper, lime juice, olive oil, kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper.
- Note, the radish salsa can become watery as it sits, so it’s best served about 10 minutes after preparation, using a slotted spoon.
For the black beans:
- Mince the garlic.
- In a medium pot, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and barely starting to brown.
- Add the black beans along with the can liquid (add 1/4 cup water if using beans without liquid), several sprigs of cilantro, and 1/4 teaspoon each kosher salt and black pepper.
- Bring to a boil, then simmer 15 minutes until the liquid condenses.
Char the tortillas:
- If desired, char the tortillas by placing them on an open gas flame on medium for a few seconds per side, flipping with tongs, until they are slightly blackened and warm.
To serve:
- Place the beans in the middle of a tortilla, top with radish salsa, feta cheese crumbles, and cilantro.
