Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Black Beans

    If using canned black beans, rinse and drain them. If using dried beans, soak and cook them until tender.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Cook the Beans

    Add the black beans to the saucepan, along with cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir and cook for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Transfer the black beans to a serving dish. Top with queso fresco and pico de gallo. Squeeze lime juice over the top if desired.
