Recipe: Seasoned Black Beans

seasoned-black-beansSeasoned Black Beans… a can of cooked beans kicked up a couple notches! If you’re staying in rental house, or back at home, beans are great way to eat healthy and get enough protein for playing and working. I like beans with a little extra somethin’, so try this recipe:
In a medium size pot on medium high heat, water saute for about 3 minutes 1/2 white onion and 2 clove garlic, both diced
Turn heat to medium low and add to pot:
1-20oz can black beans with water from can
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Simmer for 15 minutes. Enjoy as you would any beans! (I ate mine with fresh tomato and cilantro and chips)
