Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beans

    Rinse the black beans under cold water. If using dried beans, soak them overnight and then cook them until tender.

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked black beans to the skillet along with cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.

  4. 4

    Finish with Lime and Cilantro

    Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice and chopped cilantro. Adjust seasoning if needed.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve warm as a side dish or as a filling for tacos or burritos.
