How to Make Bacon And Black Bean Smash
- Heat 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 4 slices of bacon, chopped, and cook until crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet.
- Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic to the skillet with the bacon fat. Cook for 5 minutes, or until softened.
- Add 1 (15-ounce) can of black beans, drained and rinsed, to the skillet. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon cumin. Use a potato masher to partially smash the beans, leaving some texture. Stir in the cooked bacon.
- Add a second (15-ounce) can of black beans, drained and rinsed, to the skillet. Stir to combine with the smashed beans.
- Add your favorite hot sauce to taste. Serve immediately.
- Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or green onions (optional).
