Preparation
1.
Heat a large pan or saucepan over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the red onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes, until translucent. Stir in the smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Mix and cook for 1 minute to release the aromas.
2.
Add the cherry tomatoes and tomato paste. Stir and cook for 2–3 minutes. Add the drained red beans and water. Stir, bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat. Simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the texture slightly thickens.
3.
Taste and adjust the salt, pepper, or spices as needed. Add the chopped cilantro at the end of cooking.
4.
Serve in large bowls and top with diced avocado, grated cheese, sour cream or Greek yogurt, and fresh cilantro.
