Step 1
Drain and rinse black beans. Mash half of them with a fork until roughly smooth; leave half whole for texture.
Step 2
Toss onion slices with lime juice and a pinch of salt. Let sit while you cook.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, ~2 minutes.
Step 4
Fry one tortilla until edges curl and light gold, ~2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
Step 5
Repeat with second tortilla. Keep skillet and oil on the stove.
Step 6
Warm mashed and whole beans in a small pot over medium for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 7
Place one crispy tortilla on a flat plate. Spread half the warm beans over it.
Step 8
Scatter 0.75 cup cheese over beans. Return to skillet over medium-low for 90 seconds until cheese melts.
Step 9
Transfer to plate. Top with pickled onion and cilantro. Repeat with second tlayuda.
