The Best Way to Make Black Beans In The World
You don't need a recipe to make really great beans from a can. You just need to use the whole thing—liquid and all—plus a little onion, garlic, and some spices. Finish it off with a little honey and vinegar and you're good to go. Smear some across a tortilla before building a taco; load up a burrito bowl with spiced rice, onions, and peppers; top a scoop with fried eggs and cheese; or eat the whole thing with chips and call it dinner.
