How to Cook Canned Black Beans

Step 1

Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add onions, tomatoes, jalapenos (if using), garlic, cumin, oregano and smoked paprika. Stir and saute for 5 minutes, until onions have softened and become translucent.

Step 3

Add can of black beans (do not drain), stir and bring to a simmer. If you'd like the beans to be a bit more soupy, add in some water or broth until the consistency is to your liking.

Step 4

Remove from heat and stir in lime juice and salt.

Step 5

Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve.
