Quick and Easy Seasoned Black Beans

Tasty beans! The seasonings in these beans were perfect. I did also add some sugar, salt, and pepper. I needed these thicker because I was using them as a burrito filling along with shredded chicken and yellow rice, so I did end up draining some liquid and I made myself a note to drain off most of the bean liquid before adding them to the pot next time. Thank you for a great recipe!

LOVE this. I make this A LOT. This is my weekly, quick, go to meal (and I love that it's so cheap!). I always sautee decided green bell pepper with the onion.Sometimes I add turkey kielbasa to it or some grilled chicken, but usually I just make it as is, and serve it on a bed of brown rice. I top it off with some shredded cheese, crumbled tortilla chips, and a little light sour cream. Mmmmmm....

Loved these! I love the black beans you get in restaurants and these tasted just like it. I skipped the chilis because I didn't have any and I halved the recipe because it's just the two of us. We will make these again!

These were the best black beans we had ever tasted! We made them exactly as written, except we used a little less jalapeno and did remove the seeds (there was still a perfect amount of heat for us). We served them with Mexican rice, pico de gallo, avocado and sauteed veggies, and they were the hit of the table. The spice proportions are perfect, and lime juice and cilantro are an excellent addition. Highly recommended!

This was great! I rinsed off my beans to get rid of some sodium and just added some water when I added the beans to the skillet. I left my jalepenos and onions a little larger. The cilantro along with the cumin gave a nice balance. I may be biased because I am addicted to cilantro. I ate this with some naan (Indian flat bread) that I get from the local Indian store.

Yummy!! Had to change the heat of it though because I have little guys. I put in diced green chilis instead of the jalepeno. Everyone loved it even my 2 and 3 year olds!! Thanks so much for the great and easy recipe!!

I drained and rinsed my beans and then added some chicken broth while simmering them to add back in some moisture. I also left the chilis out because I am not a fan. Towards the end of the cooking, I used my potato masher and mashed about 1/2 of them (I was looking for something like refried beans but they did not really get creamy). I served these with chicken fajitas and they were great. I think tomorrow I will just put these on a tortilla with my toppings and forget about the chicken!

Good recipe and exactly what I was looking for. I only had about an hour to pull together a side for a Mexican pork roast after work so I couldn't use many of the long simmering bean recipes that sounded great on Zaar. Very simple and quick but (as a result) the flavors weren't very complex. Use this recipe if you're short on time, otherwise cook your beans longer!

These were AWESOME!!! We made it with a copy cat recipe of chili's margarita chicken. Great and healthy too!

These beans were delicious! I really enjoyed their spiciness. I eat them as a meal on top of tostada shells sprinkled with a little bit of jack cheese. Thanks for the recipe!

Pretty good.. maybe needed some salt? I enjoyed the chunky onion and jalepeno. I think fresh tomato and sourcream would be good with this. : )

This was a recipe that uses ingredients that are readily available and it is fast and easy to prepare. The result is a deliciously flavorful side dish. My family enjoyed it and said it was a keeper! Thank you for sharing your recipe Sue!

Rita....yet another superb recipe! I made this today to eat tomorrow as a bean salad, so I did drain the beans. Prepared everything else according to your recipe. I tasted while still hot, and it was out of this world! I have now refridgerated the dish to eat with pulled pork as tomorrows lunch. This will probably last me a few days, and I'm looking forward to every meal! Thanks! I'll be making this again often!

Quick, Easy & Great! Made these for dinner and practically ate the whole bowl by myself. I halved the recipe for a smaller group and they worked perfectly. Can't wait to make them again!

Really great way to jazz up a plain old can of beans. Love the freshness of the lime too! Great recipe!

I halfed the serving to 3 and the proportions were perfect. Enjoyed over white rice. I used dried cilantro as that is all I had on hand. I have never used lime on black beans but enjoyed the "bite" it gave it. Thanks Sue L!

This turned out very nice. I made half a recipe to try it out, and cooked 1 lb dry black beans, to equal 15 oz canned beans. I wanted to try the beans mildly flavored this time, so used red bell peppers instead of chilies. I did notice that there is no salt in this recipe - perhaps the canned beans are seasoned - but I added salt to taste at the end. Thank you for a very enjoyable recipe.
