frijoles negros

A quick and easy version of the Cuban Black beans! I'm sautéing up jalapeños, onions, and garlic and then simmering the beans until they are tender and topping them with cilantro and lime! So, so delicious!

Cuban Black Beans with Cilantro and Lime

red onion, diced

1-2 jalapeños, seeded + ribs removed then diced

garlic,

cans) black beans, rinsed and drained

water

salt

cumin

chipotle chili powder (optional)

cilantro

lime juice (or more!)

Heat the oil in a stockpot or dutch...

Heat the oil in a stockpot or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions and jalapeños for 4-5 minutes or until they turn translucent. Add the garlic and continue to cook for 30 seconds.

Add the black beans, warm water, salt, cumin,...

Add the black beans, warm water, salt, cumin, and chili powder and bring to a boil. When boiling, reduce the heat so that it simmers. Allow to cook for 10-15 minutes or until most of the water evaporates leaving a thick sort of broth. At this point, if you'd like to thicken the beans a bit more you can remove about ½ - 1 cup of beans and mash them (using a potato masher or a wooden spoon) to make a thick sort of paste but this is optional. Add the beans back into the pot and stir. Top with fresh cilantro and lime juice stir to combine.

These cilantro and cumin seasoned black beans are easy to make and so incredibly flavorful. Enjoy them on their own, in bowls, tacos, burritos, enchiladas or more!

Push the vegetables over to one side of the pan, then add a tablespoon of oil in the empty space. Add the whole cumin, oregano, and crushed red pepper to the oil and let sizzle for 30 seconds, then add the salt and garlic powder and stir the spices into the onion mixture and turn off heat.

Transfer the onion mixture to a blender and add the cilantro, lime juice, and final 2 tablespoons of oil. Blend until fairly smooth.

Add the blended seasoning to the beans and...

Add the blended seasoning to the beans and bring to a low simmer, if using an Instant Pot cook on the sauté mode on less or normal to achieve this, if using a pot keep it on medium-low or low heat. Let simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring regularly, or until the beans reach the desired consistency. If you want a more refried bean texture you can mash the beans partially or use an immersion blender.

Taste and add salt as needed. Beans will thicken as they cool. Keep stored in the fridge for 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
