Sometimes I like taking the can of beans, rinsing them off, and cooking them with taco seasoning!0

I love black beans in chili and on burritos with salsa/diced tomatoes and meat or eggs. I usually buy dry black beans and soak/rinse/cook half a bag at once and then freeze them in little baggies. I add them to pretty much any meal that has diced tomatoes in it because I love that flavor combination.
I know some people like to add black beans to salads but I can't take the strong black bean taste by itself.0 -
Here is how I make canned black beans....
1 onion (medium)
1 Cubanelle Pepper (or sweet green)
Bit of EEOV
Half of the liquid from black bean can
In a medium pot, heat these three till soft
Add in...
3 TBSP white wine (dry if possible)
1-2 TBSP ketchup
1-2 bay leaves
Remaining black bean can liquid
Simmer and reduce a bit then add in the beans and let cook for 10 min (or longer if you like)
Serve over rice or quinoa

I have never tried a black bean burger. Might have to give that and the Cuban black beans a try.0

Black Bean Tostada Cups!
There really isn't much of a recipe for them, you just cook the beans as directed and add either salt/pepper/chili powder or a bit of taco sauce. Take small flour tortillas and put them in muffin cups so they're like little bowls and bake at 375-ish until crispy. Fill 'em up with beans, chopped veggies, cheese, etc. and put them back in the oven until the cheese melts. Top with sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes...anything!
Enjoy!

Hello,
I'm from Brazil and f there is something that can be classified as the national brazilian food that would be Black Beans.
The favourite way to go about it is to make it into a stew with pieces of pork, smoked pork is even better. It's the sort of thing that you can add whatever vegetables you have around you and it keeps delicious, a bit like lentil stew.
I would suggest potatoes, carrots and tomatoes (yes I know tomato is a fruit), for the port I think pancetta is the way to go. Cook it all until the beans are soft, a pressure cooker might be the best way. Serve it with rice and for the adventurous ones you can have a go at eating it with peeled pieces of orange, it's absolutely delicious.
I hope it helps, otherwise you can always look for brazilian recipes, we call black beans Feijão, I'm sure you can find plenty of recipes in english around the web
^^^ This - feijoada - absolutely delicious, but can be very calorific if you don't choose the cuts of meat/sausage carefully.0 -

Chilled black bean salad! Sooo delicious in the summer. I usually eat a cup of it (about 200 calories) with a can of tuna or salmon for lunch. This recipe makes a ton of it, so you'd probably want to halve it. I used canned beans, but you can just cook the beans and throw them in.
2 15oz cans black beans (low sodium)
2 15oz cans kidney beans (low sodium)
1 15oz can corn
1 7oz can corn (I didn’t want toooo much corn!)
1 green pepper
1 red pepper
1 small container of cherry tomatoes
1 avocado
This sounds so delicious!!!! thanks for sharing it!!! tomorrow's dinner with grilled chicken!
1 cup loosely chopped cilantro
½ red onion
Salt to taste (I added about 3 tsp)
Chili powder to taste (also about 3 tsp)
Juice from 3 limes
Drain most of the juice from the beans, but leave a little for flavor. Drain all the juice from the corn. Chop up the peppers and onion finely, dice the avocado, halve the tomatoes (or however you want to prepare them, the recipe is completely flexible). Then just mix everything together and chill for a couple hours before serving.0 -

I love black beans. I love them with brown rice, I love them with avocado, I love them with salsa. I especially love them with some brown rice and an over easy egg on top. The yolk mixes with the liquids in the beans and makes the most rich and delicious kind of sauce. It might sound strange but it's crazy delicious. I gotta pick up some black beans today. Here is the recipe I use. And they do turn out better if they're soaked overnight.

I'm trying to increase my protein and like black beans so am giving myself a bump. I want to try the black bean and sweet potato enchiladas and a couple of the salads! Good shares0

Soak them over night, then cook them in a crockpot with hot salsa and diced onion. Make some brown rice. Take some rice and black bean mixture, put them in a warm whole wheat tortilla, add a little shredded cheddar cheese and ta da! black bean burrito!
Save any left over beans and rice for the next day. Add chopped red/yellow/green pepper, some cajun seasoning, and some spicy chicken sausage (if your a carnivore) and you have a tasty filling meal!0 -
Sounds funny but taste great I promise.....sweet potato black bean enchiladas!
Dice 1 sweet potato (super small pieces so it will cook faster)
1 16 ounce jar of salsa
Put them in a skillet on med heat and cook down until potato gets tender. Add a can of black beans and stir
Put into corn tortillas and put in the oven at 350 for about 15 min. (Can also add Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack cheeses)
Those are a family fav that we have almost every week!
this sounds fantastic, definitely going to try this.0
