1
Soak the Beans
Rinse the dried beans under cold water and place them in a bowl. Cover with enough water and let them soak overnight or for at least 6 hours.
2
Cook the Beans
Drain the soaked beans and place them in a pot. Add 4 cups of fresh water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the beans are tender.
3
Sauté Aromatics
In a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and minced garlic, sauté until they are translucent and fragrant.
4
Combine and Season
Once the beans are cooked, drain any excess water and add them to the sautéed onions and garlic. Stir in salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Mix well and cook for an additional 5 minutes to combine flavors.
5
Serve
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm as a side dish or as a main dish with rice or salad.
