Cooking the Beans
Add the soaked black beans to the pot along with the cumin, salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Pour in enough water to cover the beans by about an inch (approximately 4 cups). Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 1 to 1.5 hours or until the beans are tender.
