Step 1
Drain and rinse both cans of beans. Heat them in a large pot over medium with a pinch of salt and 0.5 cup water.
Step 2
While the beans warm, combine tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro in a bowl. Squeeze half the lime over the salsa.
Step 3
Season the beans to taste with salt and pepper, stirring often. The surface should look creamy, ~4 minutes.
Step 4
Ladle beans into bowls and top with the fresh salsa. Squeeze the remaining lime wedge over everything. Serve hot.
