Ingredients:
- 2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced (red, green, or yellow – your choice!)
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar (optional, for a little tang)
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté until they begin to soften—about 4-5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, cumin, oregano, and smoked paprika to the skillet. Stir and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the rinsed black beans and season with salt and pepper. Let it cook for about 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. If you prefer a saucier texture, feel free to add a splash of water or broth.
- If using, add the red wine vinegar just before removing from heat, giving it a nice zing.
- Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro. These beans pair perfectly with rice, tacos, or as a filling in burritos.
