Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the beans

If using dried black beans, soak them overnight, then drain and rinse. Cook them in water until tender, about 1-2 hours. If using canned beans, simply drain and rinse.

2

Sauté the vegetables

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

3

Add garlic and spices

Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

4

Combine with beans

Add the prepared black beans and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

5

Simmer

Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 20-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

6

Finish the dish

Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice and chopped cilantro. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
