I love black beans but most recipes I find are on the difficult/time consuming side. Any thoughts on simple, easy, yummy black bean recipes?

    I think beans in general are time consuming just because of the soaking and/or boiling time. I like to cook black beans, mash them up, and add them to ground turkey for some burgers =)

    This recipe is amazing. Not only can you use it to make burgers, but also you can use the left over burgers the next day, reheat and crumble them into a fajita, a taco, or onto a salad. The flavor that they have is amazing, and the recipe is incredibly adaptable.

    I love the one on the back of the Goya Black Bean can. Takes twenty minutes tops and it tastes delicious. One of my favorite meals.

    1 can of black beans (drained), 1 can of Rotel, 1 can of corn (drained). I add diced onion and red pepper too. Served hot or cold, my husband and step-son LOVE it, but we like spicy.

    I make a side with black beans, diced tomatoes (I use canned for both, just rinse the beans), garlic and a few dashes of hot sauce. Great with eggs in the morning or as a side with lunch or dinner.

    I just made a recipe I found on Epicurious.com for Black Bean and Tomatoe Quinoa. I substituted fresh basil for the cilantro and it was Fantastic!!!

    I add okra. I know it sounds gross but it's SOOOOOO good and very nutritious.

    Black Bean Soup!

    Black beans, diced tomatoes, fresh hot peppers, diced onion, and water and chilli powder + cumin to taste. A little fresh minced garlic is good too.


    Delicious! As for proportions, just go with whatever your heart desires. I like to take half of the soup at the end and puree for a good mix of texture. A lot of other people I know like the whole thing pureed.


    If you make it thick, this can even be a good dip!

    Black beans, jalapeno, diced tomato, onion, cilantro, avacado and some lime juice... Black bean salsa :)

    Goes great with tacos and enchiladas. Eggs in the morning. My ex would mash it up a bit and use as a dip with chips...

    I make this ALL the time because it's easy and so yummy (and if you make it with whole wheat tortillas - pretty healthy)! :smile:

    For an easy recipe my sister taught me I cook fish (I like tilapia but any white fish works or you can do shrimp) in a pan covered with a can of black beans, a can of diced tomatos with chilis, and a small can of corn. Super fast super easy. You can add cayenne or hot sauce if you like it spicy and if you have time adding fresh bell peppers and purple onion is awesome. (I like to cut up a lot at once and toss them in the freezer in little bags for using later.)
