What can I do with black beans?

I make black bean taco salad. I use lower salt baked corn chips as the base. I heat some black beans with a tablespoon or two of salsa, some spices (garlic, coriander and cumin) and then layer chips, beans, reduced fat cheese, lettuce tomatoes and a few onions and voila! a quick and filling dinner.0

I like to put a can of black beans in the crock pot with diced tomatoes, onions, red & yellow peppers, and some mexican cheese. If you have no time to chop the veggies, you can buy a can of diced tomatoes, and the onions & peppers already chopped & frozen. Super easy and super healthy.0

use them as part of a burrito bowl similar to chipotle, toss in guac, sour cream, brown rice, salsa, corn....and you're good to go \m/0

Put them in the blender and add onions and olive oil purée for a minute or two heat and eat as a soup with celery sticks. ( warning may cause bloating from gas)0

I've tried this vegan black bean soup recipe before, and it's pretty good (and I eat meat)
1 TBSP olive oil
1 large onion
1 stalk celery
2 chopped carrots
4 cloves minced garlic (2 tsp)
2 TBSP chili powder
1 TBSP ground cumin
1 pinch black pepper
4 cups vegetable broth
4 cans black beans
1 can whole corn (though I usually go with 1.5 cup frozen corn, less sodium)
1 can crushed or diced tomatoes
Heat oil in saucepan and saute onion, celery, carrots and garlic for about 5 minutes. Season with chili powder, cumin, and black pepper, cook for 1 minute. Stir in veggie broth, beans, tomatoes and corn. Bring to boil, then simmer for 15 minutes.
You can also use a food processor to blend 2 of the cans of black beans and tomatoes together if you want a "creamier" soup. But I haven't replaced my food processor that broke, so usually just dump in all in the crock pot together after the saute step.
This recipe makes about 6 servings at around 150 cal per serving. I usually store it in my fridge and eat it for lunch a few times per week with a side salad.0 -
I love this chicken recipe
1 can black beans-drained and rinsed
1 can rotel tomatoes and green chilis
1 bag sweet corn
1/2 cup salsa
1 lb chicken
1/2 block cream cheese( not added until end)
Throw it all in the slow cooker. When chicken is done shred it and add 1/2 block of cream cheese let cook another 15/20 min stir together and there you go!! you can eat it on a tortilla or over brown rice or just by itself!0 -
lol so sorry didnt notice the (dont eat meat) part!!! lol but it would be good without chicken, over rice0

Mix black beans with corn, purple onions, cilantro and lime juice. You can eat it with tortilla chips or I just eat it as a salad. It's good with mango added in too.0

Soups and chilis, definitely. I add into macaroni and cheese with ro-tel tomatoes and chilis to dress up an easy staple. Just had them today in an omelet with feta cheese and topped with salsa verde. So versatile!0

I haven't done this in a while and don't know the nutrition profile, but black bean burgers are epic. There are a lot of recipes online; I do the following:
Drain 1 can of black beans; mash.
Mix in 1 cup of panko bread crumbs (Japanese style)
I would typically also chop some onion and add sauteed mushrooms or any other vegetable I needed to use up
(ex: carrot or spinach pulp from my juicer)
Season to taste (I like chipotle hot sauce and a bit of barbeque sauce). Literally taste it at this point.
Add 1 beaten egg (helps to hold it together)
Make patties and fry
I'm typing this from memory, but I don't think I've missed anything.0 -
Black beans + lean ground turkey + corn + taco seasoning0

salt and pepper to taste
1 cup frozen corn kernels
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1.Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic, and saute until lightly browned.
2.Mix quinoa into the saucepan and cover with vegetable broth. Season with cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes,
3.Stir frozen corn into the saucepan, and continue to simmer about 5 minutes until heated through. Mix in the black beans and cilantro.
Makes 10 servings, 148 calories per serving, good for meatless meals - 7 grams protein per serving.
I usually add a bit more cayenne pepper because I like spicy foods, and I serve it on a corn tortilla with low fat sour cream. Great on its own too, though. Very yummy!0 -
