    Quick and easy: As many cans of black beans as you want, drained and rinsed. Depending on how many cans of black beans you used - 1-2 cans of diced tomatoes, (I use 1 can spicy, 1 can regular), heat. Put over rice.

    Not a fan of black beans but........ these are AWESOME

    ******************************************


    Black Bean Brownies (2 WW Points each!)
    1 box brownie mix
    1 can (15 oz) black beans

    Open the can of black beans, rinse well. With beans back in the can, add enough water to cover beans. Put in blender or food processor and puree. Add puree to brownie mix, and then bake according to package directions.

    You DO NOT add the eggs or oil that the recipe calls for, JUST the black bean puree!

    Makes 20 brownies-- 2 Weight Watcher Points each!

    These are pretty rich and fudgy, and DH couldn't tell that they weren't "regular" brownies. They have lots of protein and fiber, too.

    Just made these. They're fabulous!! I cut mine into 16 brownies and put a dollop of light cool whip on top. Yum!!!

    I love black beans but I never cook with them, but a few days ago I made Charred Corn Salad with Black Beans. I saw Jamie Deen make it on his cooking show. It was really good. I had the last of it for dinner tonight. Here's the recipe.

    Charred Corn Salad

    Ingredients
    2 ears corn on the cob, husked
    3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    Juice of 1 lime
    Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
    One 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
    2 cups grape tomatoes, halved or quartered
    1 cup cooked and cooled brown rice
    1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
    3 thinly sliced green onions, whites and green parts
    1 clove garlic, minced

    Directions

    Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Char the ears of corn, rotating on all sides, in the dry skillet until lightly blackened and charred, about 15 minutes. Let cool, and then remove the kernels from the cob with a sharp knife.

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice and salt and pepper to taste.

    Add the black beans, tomatoes, rice, red onions, green onions, garlic and cooled corn to a large bowl. Toss with the lime vinaigrette.

    Black bean chalupas - tostada shells topped with black beans (mashed), grilled chicken, lettuce, tomato, avacado and greek yogurt or light sour cream. They're quick, easy and tasty.
