Cuban Style Black Beans

Get your Latin groove on with these Cuban inspired black beans, loaded with mucho sabor (lots of flavor)! Easy to make and ready in 20 minutes, but don’t let that fool you, there is plenty of flavor in these beans. Healthy, high in fiber, vegetarian, gluten free, inexpensive and delicioso! Try these beans with some of my Latin favorites such as Cilantro Lime Rice,  Barbacoa Beef, Barbacoa Pork, Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas, Slow Cooked Pernil, and Pollo Sabroso, to name a few.

This is my go to recipe for busy weeknights when I don’t have time to make beans from the dried bag. Tommy loves this dish so I make them quite often. My favorite is serving this over rice but you can add this to enchiladas, tacos and more.

Ingredients for these easy black beans

This black canned beans recipe uses just a few ingredients to make a flavorful side or main dish in minutes. It’s super easy to whip up!

Canned black beans: Canned black beans, find the best brand that works for you, I like Goya and don’t drain or rinse. Onions and Scallions: I like to use both, but if you only have one, just use more of it. Garlic: Adds fresh garlic for best results. I buy them peeled to save time. Red bell pepper: just a little goes a long way for flavor Cilantro: cooks out, so if you’re worried about it tasting soapy, it won’t Cumin, Dried Oregano and Bay Leaf: for seasoning Red Vinegar: a little added at the end brightens them up
