Black Bean recipes

I use black beans pretty frequently —

I add black beans to this recipe for carne adobada https://muybuenocookbook.com/carne-adobada/

I normally substitute then in for the kidney beans in 3-bean salad — I use a modification of this (honey instead of sugar and change up other measurements) https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/three_bean_salad/

I also make a mango, pineapple salsa and toss them in and eat with plantain chips

I add them to chicken and rice

Have re-fried beans already been suggested? Easy side and if you are having tacos with vegetarians they can use them as their main protein.

Dice up an onion and sautee in scant amount of olive oil. Add a minced clove of garlic when onions have coloured a little. Once the garlic starts to colour toss in the drained beans, some cumin, dried oregano and chilli powder to taste. Add a splash of water if the mixture is looking dry. I like to add a little squirt of tomato ketchup for sweetness. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mash lightly with a potato masher once beans have softened enough to do so. Can be served hot or at room temperature.
