Chipotle Black Beans
I've long wanted a good black beans recipe and I think this is a great one. I often make this Mexican-inspired dish for Taco Tuesdays.
Ingredients
- 1 Yellow Onion medium, diced
- 2 Bay Leaves
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
- Water as needed
- 1½ tbsp Garlic minced
- 1 tbsp Jalapeño minced
- 2 cups Black Beans canned
- ⅓ cup Cilantro fresh, chopped
- ½ tsp Chipotle Pepper Flakes
- 1 tsp Cumin Powder
- ¼ tsp Ginger Powder
- ¼ tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Coriander Powder
- ¼ tsp Oregano
- 1 tsp Salt or to taste
Garnish
- Fresh Cilantro
- Lime Wedge
Instructions
- Heat a pan on medium heat. Add the onion, bay leaves, and cumin seeds and sauté until golden brown, about five minutes. Sprinkle some water if the mixture sticks to the pan.
- Add garlic and jalapeño and sauté for 1 more minute.
- Add black beans, cilantro, chipotle pepper flakes, cumin, ginger powder, black pepper, coriander, oregano and salt. Mix well.
- Reduce heat to low, cover with lid, and let simmer for 7 to 10 minutes (add a sprinkle of water if sticking to pan) then turn off the heat.
- When safe to touch, remove bay leaves. Add garnishes and serve hot!
