How to Make Quick And Easy Seasoned Black Beans

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat.
  2. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1/2 jalapeño, finely diced, and sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon dried oregano and 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin. Sauté for 1 minute more, adding a teaspoon of water if needed to prevent sticking.
  5. Add two 15-ounce cans of black beans (rinsed and drained) to the pan. Bring to a boil.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow flavors to meld.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro and the juice of 1 lime.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy! For a bean dip, mash or puree the beans before serving.
