Stovetop Black Beans

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

I first started cooking black beans in college with my roommate.  We had to find cheap meals that would fill us up!  Black beans were always a go-to meal.  They are one of my favorite sides to have with dinner.  They are great in soups, salads, tacos, as a side, or even as a main meal.  My favorite brand is Goya. I always buy the Low-Sodium kind.

Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 tube Chorizo (I use soy but pork or beef will work great)
  • 1/4 cup of yellow onion diced small
  • 1/4 cup of poblano pepper diced small (seeds and ribs removed)
  • 1 jalapeno pepper diced small (seeds and ribs removed)
  • 3 cloves of minced garlic (fresh or jarred)
  • 2 tsp of Ground Cumin
  • 1–2 tsp of Mexican Oregano (or just regular Oregano)
  • Salt/pepper (about 1 tsp each)
  • ½ cup Cilantro (or to taste)
  • 2 (15.5oz) cans of Black Beans undrained (I use Low-Sodium Goya)
  • juice of 1/2 lime

*OPTIONAL: You can add Mexican Beer (about 3/4 cup) for extra flavor


Instructions

Directions:

  1. Heat the olive oil in a medium-size pot and add chorizo until cooked through
  2. Add onion, poblano pepper, and jalapeño and sauté until soft (about 5 minutes).
  3. Add garlic and stir for 1 minute or until fragrant
  4. Add the cumin, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper, cilantro, black beans, and lime juice. Stir until mixed well.
  5. Cook the beans on medium/low for about 15-20 minutes. Add any seasonings as needed
  6. Top with more cilantro and Mexican cheese

Notes

  • Soy Chorizo actually tastes quite the same as Pork or Beef. I use Le Frieda’s Soyrizo. It has less fat and no cholesterol!
  • If you want to add Mexican Beer, add it in step 4
  • You can drain the beans but will need some sort of liquid (water, beer, chicken broth) to add to them.
  • This can be a meal on its own and served over rice
