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:
