Easy recipes with black beans?

Question

What can I do with a can of black beans that will be quick but tasty. Soups, dips, etc?

The fewer ingredients the better. But I like spicy foods!

Thanks!

Answer 1

Beans and rice and corn

1 can black beans (or any kind of canned beans), drained and rinsed
1 can corn
1 cup minute rice.
1/4 cup water

Pour drained black beans into pot. Add 1 full can of corn including the corn water in to a pot. Bring to a boil. Stir in the minute rice and remove from heat. Let the rice absorb the water (Minute Rice or quick-cook rice takes about 5 minutes)
You can add salt and pepper if you like.
I like to dress mine up with olives and either ranch or Italian-style dressing. You can also dress it up with a good salsa or a few jalapenos and sour cream on top.

I think I have given this recipes before but here goes. This is a recipe that is suitable for a buffet or potluck. You may want to cut it down a bit for only one or two people:

Juice of three limes
Salt and pepper to tast
1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese

Combine the first 9 ingredients, cover and chill

Garnish with the cheese and serve

Make a cold salad with it.

Answer 4

Somtimes when I want something healthy but fast. I make a black bean/ rice/chopped chives/ salsa/ avocado combo and wrap it in a warm tortilla. Fast.. easy.. full of fiber and protein.
