For the Lime Crema:

  • lime zest of 1
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • Pinch kosher salt

For the Pickled Onions:

  • lime juice of 1
  • 1 onion very thinly sliced, small; red variety
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

For the Beans:

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion diced, small, yellow
  • 1/2 red bell pepper seeded and diced (about 1/2 cup
  • 1/2 green bell pepper seeded and diced (about 1/2 cup
  • 1 jalapeno pepper seeded and finely chopped, small
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons oregano dried
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 black beans 15 oz cans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 diced tomatoes 15 oz can with their juices
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • avocado fresh cilantro leaves-for serving, sliced

Instructions

  1. Make the Crema: In a small bowl, combine the lime zest, garlic, and Greek yogurt. Season with a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  2. Make the Pickled Red Onions: In another small bowl, combine the lime juice, red onion, sugar, and salt. Let the mixtures stand while you prepare the beans.
  3. Cook the Beans: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, peppers, and jalapeño. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened and browned at the edges, 10-12 minutes. Stir in the garlic, oregano, and chili powder. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the black beans, tomatoes with juices, 2/3 cup water, and salt. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the mixture has thickened, about 20 minutes. Taste and add more salt, if needed.
  4. We like to serve the beans over rice or quinoa with sliced avocado, cilantro, the lime crema, and pickled onions.
