Quick Mexican Black Beans

Print

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 2 - 3 teaspoons garlic, minced
• 3 - 4 teaspoons taco seasoning (or to taste)
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 15.5 ounce cans black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 14.5 ounce can tomatoes, diced (with the juice)
• 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt (or to taste)
• 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or medium pan over medium - low heat.
2: Add the garlic, taco seasoning and onion powder. Stir frequently for 1 - 2 minutes.
3: Stir in the tomatoes, black beans and salt. Increase the heat to medium. Simmer 7 - 10 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated. (Add a bit of water if the beans get too dry).
4: Remove from the heat. Top with cilantro and serve.

Notes

Adjust the seasonings to your taste. You can use another type of salt if you do not have Kosher salt.
For softer beans cook longer. Add a bit water if the beans get too dry.
I prefer the petite diced canned tomatoes.
These Mexican Black Beans are delicious served as a side dish, over rice or taco salad and in burritos, enchiladas or tacos.
