Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
-2 15oz cans of black or pinto beans
-2 tbsp olive oil
-1/3 red onion, finely diced
-3 garlic cloves, minced
-3/4 cup water
-1 tsp kosher salt
-1/2 tsp pepper
-1 tsp cumin
-1/2 tsp chipotle chili powder
-1/2 tsp oregano
-1 bay leaf
-1 juice lime
-1/2 juice lemon
*Note: you can use a 1lb bag of dried beans but follow the steps and then let the beans simmer on low for 2 hours or until tender. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed.
Directions:
Thoroughly rinse in cold water.
Add oil to a large cast iron skillet on medium heat.
Once oil is hot, add onions, and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until translucent. Add in garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add in beans, chipotle powder, salt, bay leaf, cumin, and oregano. Mix and add the water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Stir every 5 minutes or so to make sure it's not sticking to the pan. Let it cook for another 5 minutes.
Remove the bay leaf. Stir in lemon and lime juices, taste and adjust seasoning by adding salt and pepper, to taste. Enjoy!
