This has become one my favorite meals. I remember taco night as a go to meal growing up and it is about the same for my family now. We have variations of tacos about once a week. As a teenager I preferred to be in charge of the meat... easy. Just brown the meat and put the spices in. I don't care much for all the chopping and dicing the other prep takes. These beans are easy too. First chop an onion and start it cooking (if I've been on top of things I don't even have to chop the onion just throw in some frozen onion I've had stored in the freezer. 
When they start to turn color throw in some garlic. Mmmmm, doesn't that smell good.
Once the onion and garlic are completely translucent and your kitchen is full or that yummy aroma add a can or two of black beans. I did one this time, but I think I usually do two. One just means there isn't as much left over for us, and there are more onions in each bite. 
Cook the beans for a minute adding a couple tablespoons of water. At this point they are ready to eat, or you can mash them up a bit. They're tasty either way. I just mash them a little with a potato masher.
For this meal I made whole wheat tortillas. They need some work... but that is a post for another time I think.
Usually I serve the beans with corn tortillas tostada style. I spray the corn tortillas with cooking spray and sprinkle with a bit of salt. Then cook them about 5 minutes on each side.
Sorry I don't have a picture of the end product. We were too hungry.
