Instructions

  1. In a medium skillet, cook the onion, jalapeño pepper, and garlic in olive oil until the peppers and onions have softened and the garlic is fragrant.
  2. Place beans into a large pot with cilantro, then add the onions, peppers, and garlic. Add enough water to cover everything by 4 to 5 inches. Bring to a boil.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat, and simmer for 2 to 4 hours, or until beans are soft. Check on the pot occasionally and add more water if it gets low.
  4. Season to taste with salt and cumin once the beans are soft. Garnish with additional chopped cilantro leaves and serve.
