Quick Black Beans

I love these quick and delicious black beans that are simmered with onion, garlic, cumin and bay. They’re my go for Chicken Enchiladas or with Steak Fajita Bowls - and the only time I don’t rinse canned beans.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 onion, diced

• 2 cloves garlic, grated

• 1 teaspoon cumin

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

• 1 bay leaf

Instructions

1. Heat oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the onion and saute for about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, cayenne, and salt and cook for about 1 minute.
