A mildly spicy accompaniment to any Tex-Mex or Mexican entree. Spiciness can be played down by adding bell peppers or spiced up by using habaneros or additional chilies. The intrigue of this dish is how all the flavors come together..very tasty!

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

In sauté pan heat garlic in oil on medium heat.

4
Add contents of cans of black beans and bring to a boil.
5

These beans were delicious! I really enjoyed their spiciness. I eat them as a meal on top of tostada shells sprinkled with a little bit of jack cheese. Thanks for the recipe!

I halfed the serving to 3 and the proportions were perfect. Enjoyed over white rice. I used dried cilantro as that is all I had on hand. I have never used lime on black beans but enjoyed the "bite" it gave it. Thanks Sue L!
