Chili's Black Beans
Description
This simple recipe combines two 31-ounce cans of black beans with small amounts of sugar, chili powder, and garlic powder in a saucepan. Simmering over low heat for 20 to 25 minutes infuses the beans with gentle heat and subtle sweetness, blending the spices into the soft beans without overwhelming them.
The result is a warm, tender black bean side dish with a mild flavor profile suitable to complement a variety of proteins, rice dishes, or Mexican-inspired meals. The seasoning is balanced to enhance but not overpower the beans' natural earthiness.
These black beans can be served on their own with tortilla chips or plated under chicken, rice, and pico de gallo for a complete meal. The recipe notes suggest layering the beans in the middle of the plate with chicken and rice to create a balanced presentation and textures.
Ingredients
- 2 cans black beans (31 ounces)
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan and simmer on low heat for 20 to 25 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- If using dry black beans, increase cooking time accordingly to fully soften before seasoning.
- Serve beans simply with tortilla chips or as part of a plate with chicken, rice, and pico de gallo.
- For plating, place beans to cover the center of the plate, with chicken and rice arranged nearby and garnish with crushed tortilla chips.
