Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, undrained
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- cotija cheese optional garnish
Instructions
- Heat oil over medium heat in a large pan. Add garlic, onion, and cumin and cook for a few minutes, until the garlic is fragrant and onion is clear.
- Add beans and salt. Cook until heated through, stirring frequently.
- Just before serving, stir in the cilantro.
Notes
- If beans are looking too dry, add a little water or chicken broth to the mixture.
- Be sure to use tomato juice, not tomato sauce, in this recipe.
- Add green chiles or jalapeno with the onion for a spicier dish.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
