Black beans?

prettypooks

I use canned black beans, but I rinse them really, REALLY well. I usually mix them with a little quinoa or couscous, green onions/chives, a touch of olive oil, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, sometimes corn and/or avocado... I've added cooked shrimp or chicken for protein from time to time.

Sometimes I'll also mix black beans with cooked brown rice, corn and some fresh salsa. If I have the calories available, I'll put a little shredded cheese on top. Super cheap, and super yummy!

Now I'm craving black beans!

salsa with corn and black beans .. add chicken and chili and you have a chili.. otherwise you can use it with kashi crackers or baked tortillas

Wow, Karaicy, that looks amazing.

Spices make all the difference in the world. I don't really have a recipe but I have a base recipe with some varying spice combinations that I'll put over various things, black beans, garbanzo beans, eggplant, other vegetables, whatever. Even hard boiled eggs works. I'm not a particularly precise cook (and I like things strongly spiced), so it can and should be adjusted to your particular tastes.

Eggplant was what I discussed here because the whole thing started with an eggplant dish, and then I started putting different spices in it and I've definitely substituted the eggplant with beans and it's been really, really tasty.
