      Fantastic and easy! We don't get black beans here, so I used garbanzo, and it probably gave the dish a completely different taste, but I loved it! I used 1 tsp oil and 1/4 tsp of garlic paste for 2 servings, and used cumin seeds instead of cumin powder. Don't omit the vinegar as it adds a wonderful tartness! I had this with rotis for a great lunch.

      Really good and super easy. I didn't read the recipe correctly and ended up draining my can of beans. Since I didn't have any liquid I substitued with broth and it was still really good.

      Fixed these just the way you directed. Then I put them in the food processor w/ a little lime juice and made the perfect lunch tortilla. Thank you. These will be a regular on my menu!

      This dish was delicious and easy. It was quite rich, especially considering how healthy it is. I added a seeded jalapeno for spice, and next time I'll leave the seeds in to kick it up a bit. I served this with spanish rice, but I think your suggestion of a simple lime-dressed rice would be better, as it would allow the flavours of the beans to dominate. It wasn't quite perfect for me - but I did forget to add the vinegar, which might bring it to five stars the next time I make it!
      UPDATE: I've made this several times now, and the vinegar is key! I use sherry vinegar instead of red wine vinegar, and I add lots of lime juice too.

      Superb. I sliced some grape tomatoes in half and added them in with the garlic. I also added a dash of cayenne pepper while the dish was simmering. It was great.

      Great black beans! This was very easy and the spices were wonderful. I added 2 minced habanero peppers to the onion and peppers but only because I was craving something really spicy. I'm so glad you suggested serving over rice with lime juice! The lime juice was a fantastic addition!!! Thanks Carol.

      Ay Caramba is right!! These beans are delicious. I followed your directions exactly and they were very well seasoned. The cumin and garlic give great flavor with a little zing from the vinegar. I followed your suggestion and served over seasoned rice. Thanks Carol.

      Perfect!!! Growing up as a little girl this is what my mima's house would smell like when I woke up from my nap for dinner! This is the recipe that I have been looking for for years! My grandmother was cuban and this is what her black beans tasted like. She passed away years ago and I was not at the cooking age to ask her for the recipe. You must try it, SOO simple and it taste like they have been cooking all day!!! YUM!!

      This was really, extremely good! I generally substitute jalapenos in recipes that call for green pepper (I've just never liked the taste of green pepper), but I'm sure glad that I didn't this time. All the flavors melded together so well. And per another review, I added a 1/2 cup of water to the beans in step 4. The beans came out nice and saucy, and went really well with brown rice and lime. Mmm mmm good!

      Really good. Didn't use pepper due to allergy. Used 1 tsp. oregano, 8 cloves garlic, no salt, 1 cube bouillon, beans were fresh so used water. Very good, even my daughter that prefers not to eat beans liked it!

      Really good. Amazingly, it's the same recipe as on the back of the Goya can, exchanging Cumin for Sazon. I will be adding this to my repertoire.

      Loved this! Used a red pepper and increased the garlic. The instructions need to be clearer regarding the draining of the beans. Had I not pre-read others' reviews, I'd have poured the black bean liquid down the drain. This should be corrected. Other than that...perfect recipe! Will definitely make again!

      Excellent dish! Followed the recipe exactly and loved it. I can't wait to make it again and add a few other vegetables to it, perhaps some tomato. Absolutely delicious! Thanks for posting it.

      Excellent recipe! I did drain and rinse the black beans, using vegetable broth to soften the sauteed onion and garlic. I served with brown rice with lime. The seasoning was perfect. I will definitely serve this delicious recipe again. Thank you for sharing your recipe!

      Wow what a winning recipe! I make this frequently, swapping canned green chilis for the green pepper and adding 1 tsp of coriander. The vinegar is winning. I tried jalapeno lime black beans and put cooked spinach on top today and it was over the top yum! Thanks so much for this cheap and easy regular in our house!!

      Love, love, love it! Quick, easy, tasty! Served it with cilantro lime rice (#157068), delicious! Started eating without the vinegar, and it was good, but it was SO much better after I added the vinegar!
