Give Canned Black Beans A Cuban-Style Boost For A Simple Yet Elevated Dinner
BY NIKKI MUNOZ
Canned black beans can be a super healthy addition to your diet, but they taste bland without proper seasoning. To spice them up, give them a delicious Cuban-style upgrade.
Cuban black beans use veggies like onion and bell pepper, as well as seasonings that may include cumin, coriander, oregano, salt, smoked paprika, and pepper.
Jalapeños are also added to ensure the dish has a good amount of heat. You can add these vibrant and delicious flavors to canned black beans in under 30 minutes.
Combine all the ingredients in a pot and heat them up, then enjoy the flavorful beans for lunch or dinner, either on their own or over a serving of rice.
You can also pair Cuban-style black beans with mojo-roasted chicken, braised ropa vieja, your favorite taco or enchilada recipe, or any meat dish that needs a tasty side.
