Instructions

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and bell peppers, sautéing until the onions are translucent and the peppers are tender.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the black beans with their broth and the Salsa Lizano to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and let cook for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
