Seasoned Black Beans

We eat a lot of tacos in our house, because they are quick, easy and the boys love Mexican food.  Instead of mixing black beans in our tacos, we thought that we’d give this recipe a try and serve the beans as a side dish.  I added corn for a little color as well.  The seasoned beans were good and something that I’ll add to our taco nights more often.

INGREDIENTS
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained (or use cooked dried beans)
1 clove garlic minced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons oil
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

DIRECTIONS
In a  pan cook and onion and garlic in oil until tender. Add oregano and cumin and cook over low heat for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.  Add black beans and reduce heat to simmer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring often, to allow flavors to blend. Add chopped cilantro and lime juice, stir and serve.
