You can mix them in salads, mix them with quinoa, mix them with rice/southwestern style foods. You can make dips, vegetarian chili. They're wonderful!!0

After draining and rinsing a can of low-sodium black beans, I like to put them on a whole-wheat flour tortilla, with a small bit of low fat cheese, some tomatoes and onions (cooked), some spices (my favorite is green chile powder) and top with an egg (cooked over-medium with some non-stick spray)....DELICIOUS!0

Theyre a great source of fiber, which keeps you fuller longer, I would suggest the easiest way to work them into your life is tacos or burritos especially if you dont eat meat. Beans are a hearty way 'replace' meat.
You can find simply recipes online as well for black bean dip for tortilla chips to snack on.
I sometimes put them in scrambled eggs for a southwest spin with peppers, onions, sour cream.
Good luck, keep us posted!0 -

I do a black bean chili similar to the first post. I also like them by themselves as a side...rolled in a tortilla, etc. One of my favorites is coconut brown basmatti rice and black beans...I usually have that with jerk chicken and wilted kale.0

I just made sweet potato black bean enchiladas this weekend and they were FAB! It's from the "no meat athlete" website, don't have the recipe handy0

heat them up with a little Adobo seasoning. Pour of rice of any kind. BAM! Dinner. Add picadillo if you want.
We used do this about once a week at my house (Cuban wife, black beans and rice are a staple). Cut out the rice for the time being.0 -
