We love having Mexican-inspired food nights at our house. Whether it’s tacos, enchiladas, or burritos, the meals are generally pretty inexpensive and are quick to prepare.
These Mexican black beans are quick and easy and great as a side dish or for filling a tortilla to make a vegetarian taco. To make it even cheaper, you can cook your own dried black beans!
Mexican Black Beans
- 1 can black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 can Rotel
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- pinch of cayenne pepper
In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine all ingredients and allow to come to a boil.
Reduce to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is reduced and thickened and the beans and vegetables have broken down slightly. Serve hot.
