   Flavor the Beans

   In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent. Season with salt and black pepper.

   Once the beans are cooked, drain any excess water and mix them with the sautéed onion and garlic. Stir in chopped cilantro and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm.
