Beans

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add the Beans and Seasonings

    Stir in the canned black beans (drained and rinsed), cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

  3. 3

    Cook the Beans

    Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the mixture becomes too thick, you can add a splash of water.

  4. 4

    Finish and Serve

    Remove from heat and stir in the fresh cilantro and lime juice. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve warm as a side dish.
