Hello 2016!!
With a brand new year ahead of us, many of us are trying to incorporate healthier elements into our everyday meals. This easy recipe makes a great snack or side to any dish! It’s so quick and delicious that we’ve already eaten these black beans twice in the past week – once paired with jerk chicken and then again with slow cooked carnitas (recipe coming soon). Simply throw low-sodium black beans, green chilis, cumin, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a pot and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes. Top with fresh cilantro and serve warm!

This looks so good! I love anything black bean or with black beans!
Thanks, Katie!! Me too – and the fact that this only takes a few minutes is a plus! 🙂
I like black beans a lot. I quite often do something similar to this for a quick and easy side dish to have with rice and some seared rare steak.
Yes!! It’s great how easy and versatile black beans are!
Yummy and healthy!!! Here we are still eating sugar… I want to try your Mexican wedding cookies recipe 🙂
Do it do it! Don’t worry, we are too! Ate healthy and fresh, went on a run, and then…finished the night off with chocolate chip cookies. There’s always tomorrow, right?!
I love black beans and cumin! this sounds really good Jasmine!
They’re a great combo! Thanks, Lynn!!
Perfect recipe! Full of protein and low fat – I eat beans in place of meat all the time, although I am not a vegetarian. Love this recipe and will make this for sure! 🙂
Thanks, Kelly!! Yes they are, and they’re so filling. I’m the same way – sometimes I’ll go days before I realize I haven’t eaten any meat!
Delicious! Black beans are my absolute favorite. Happy New Year to you!
Thanks, Rachel!! Happy New Years to you too, friend!

We are huge fans of black beans! One of our favorite dishes is black beans and rice. My friends dad is a local bean farmer so I stock up with all my dried beans in the fall. Thanks for this easy peasy weeknight meal. 🙂
Wow, Chellie! That must be so great to get your beans locally!! I bet you’ve got great recipes. 🙂 Thank you!
Only you could make black beans look that enticing! 😉

I did not!! How appropriate that it was the first post for 2016! 🙂 This recipe was very easy!
