Preheat #oven{} to 400°F. Wash and dry all produce. Peel @plantain{2%pieces} and slice into ½-inch-thick rounds. Drain and rinse @black beans{15%oz}, reserving ¼ cup liquid. Thinly slice @radishes{2%pieces}. Halve, peel, and thinly slice @red onion{½%unit}. Halve, pit, and peel @avocado{1%unit}, then thinly slice. Halve @lime{1%unit} and cut one half into wedges.

In a #small bowl{}, toss a quarter of the red onion with juice from one lime half. Set aside to pickle.

Heat a drizzle of @vegetable oil{2%tbsp} in a #large pan{} over medium heat. Add the remaining red onion and cook, tossing, until softened ~{4-5%minutes}. Add the black beans and @cumin{1%tsp} and stir until warm ~{1-2%minutes}. Remove from heat. Mash with a #potato masher{} or fork until creamy, adding reserved bean liquid as needed to reduce stiffness. Season with salt and pepper.

Place @flour tortillas{4%units} on a #baking sheet{}. Toast in the oven until golden brown and crisp ~{4-6%minutes}.

Remove the bean mixture from the pan and cover to keep warm. Wipe out the pan, then heat a thin layer of oil (about 1 tbsp) in it over medium-high heat. Add the plantain and cook until soft and browned ~{3-4%minutes} per side. Reduce heat if plantain browns before softening. Remove from pan, then drizzle with @honey{1%tsp}. Season with salt and pepper.

Top the toasted tortillas with the bean mixture, plantain, avocado, pickled onion, radishes, and a few sprigs of @cilantro{1%bunch}. Sprinkle with @feta cheese{¼%cup} and squeeze over a bit of lime. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
