Black beans — improved

Ingredients

  • 2 packs Whole Foods unsalted black beans
  • 1 tsp epazote
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tbsp light olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lime

Instructions

Add the beans along with their aquafaba (that’s the bean “water”) to a pan. Add in all the other ingredients (except the lime), stir well and simmer until it all blends and thickens up.

Taste test towards the end. You probably need, at a minimum, a bit more salt. Add in the lime when you’re nearly done.
