    Black bean and sweet potato tacos. There are different ways to do it but my favorite is to roast the cubed/chunked potatoes with a little olive oil, garlic, cumin and cayenne/chili powder at 350 for about 40 minutes. You may have to stir or rotate the cookie sheet once, depending on your oven. Then in a heavy skillet: cook onion in a little more oil til translucent, add a can of black beans and some tomatoes, or taco sauce/salsa, even green salsa is good. Cook off most of the liquid. Put both things in tortilla. Cilantro and queso fresco. Dinner.

    I like to put them in a whole wheat tortilla with some low fat cheese and salsa and if I have enough calories, some light sour cream and/or guacamole. I love mexican food.

    Some ground Turkey in there as well. Guacamole has good fats. Solid idea.

    Black bean burgers are delicious. I made them and even my beef-loving boyfriend adored them. There's tons of recipes online, so just find one to your liking. Other than that, I eat them in the usual thing... chili, burritos, tacos, quesedillas, etc.

    Cuban black beans

    1 tbsp oil, add some onion and garlic (up to you how much) cook till translusant, add black beans (I use a large can) cook till heated through, splash on some lime or lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.

    I eat this as is, or on rice or quinoa.

    We like to eat it with tortilla chips as a salsa. I don't use the sherry vinegar though since they don't sell it where I live.

    I make a nice salad w them.... It is mainly black beans & your favorite lettus,some celery, red onion & carrots(chopped pretty small). Your salad dressing is a little olive oil, fresh garlic, black pepper & some adobo or whatever over spices you like & a splash of vinegar. It is a big hit!!!!
