Preparation

Step 1

Microwave, cook, or bake the potatoes until done but still firm. When cool enough to handle, peel and cut into 1/2-inch dice. Set aside until needed.

Heat the oil in an extra-large skillet. Add the onion and sauté until translucent. Add the garlic and bell pepper and sauté over medium heat until the onion is golden.

Add the chiles, tomatoes, black beans, and cumin. Bring to a simmer, then simmer gently, covered, for 10 minutes.

Stir in the lime juice, tortillas, and potatoes and cook briefly, just until heated through. Add salt
