Ingredients

Scale

Black Beans

  • 15 ounce can black beans (with liquid)

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (more to taste)
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt (more to taste)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the black beans, including the liquid from the can, to a small saucepan. Then add the sea salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and ground cumin to the saucepan, ensuring all seasonings are included for a balanced flavor.
  2. Heat and Stir: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture frequently to prevent sticking, and cook until the beans are hot and bubbly, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together while heating the beans through.
  3. Add Vinegar and Adjust Seasoning: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the red wine vinegar. Taste the beans and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt or pepper to suit your preference.
  4. Serve: Serve the seasoned black beans hot as a delicious side dish or part of your favorite meals.
