Prepare the Beans
If using dried kidney beans, soak them overnight and then cook until tender. If using canned beans, rinse and drain them.
Add Tomatoes and Spices
Stir in the diced tomatoes, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down.
Combine Beans and Broth
Add the cooked or canned kidney beans and water or vegetable broth to the pot. Stir well and bring to a boil.
Simmer
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Finish and Serve
Once done, stir in the fresh cilantro. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve warm.
