Very tasty - I love black beans, and this recipe did not disappoint. I doubled the spices in this, added a little cumin, and used scallions instead of onion. And I did in fact serve this with chicken enchiladas! The next day I used the leftovers as a filling for a bean and cheese burrito, which made a nice lunch. Thanks!

I'm sorry, but I found this recipe to be quite bland. Although the spices did add some flavour, it wasn't enough. They were also in need of a sprinkle of salt.

Simple recipe that makes a good quick side dish, especially with spicier foods. Would suggest doubling the spices, adding salt, and topping with chopped tomato and cilantro at serving. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I took the other reviewers' advice and doubled most of the spices and added 1/2 tsp. cumin. Because we aren't big cilantro fans, I cut that amount in half. and I used extra Sweet Vidalia onion. This was my first time preparing black beans so I wasn't sure if I should drain them or not. Since the recipe didn't mention that, I didn't. But I really think they would have been better if I had. They got a little "muddy" with the juice left in. We really enjoyed the taste though and I'd make them again.

This is a fantastic recipe for black beans. I love Chili's black beans and have tried finding a copycat recipe of them for a long time. I did add a small amount of chopped tomato after I finished simmering it, but otherwise I stuck to the recipe, and I wasn't disappointed! My mother also tried this recipe after hearing me talk about how great they were, and was extremely pleased. Thanks for a great recipe!!!

I recommend trying this a few times using more or less spice, I make chili ALOT and I know how much my taste buds prefer, so I just added what I wanted. I also add a splash of chili powder. The best tip I have for this dish is to add a dollop of sour cream when you are ready to eat, makes it sooooo yummy and creamy, its enough for a whole meal for me!

Easy, but it is still not the Chili's recipe. There is still something missing. Still is good though.
