Hi there everyone :) In response to query about bean recipes I have a couple that are outstanding in the opinion of my family. We love beans in this family as both of my daughters have tried vegetarianism. Donna in KS

Black Bean Burrito Filling or side dish

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 jalapeno chile, seeded and chopped (I use small can green chilies on mild side)
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
28 ounces black beans, drained
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves (have used parsley in a pinch)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper sauce ( I cut this down but then again I'm not wild about hot I like to taste my food LOL)
coarse salt

In a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil, jalapeno, garlic and onion; Saut?for 2 or 3 minutes. Add beans and stir in seasonings and cayenne pepper sauce. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes. We love them as burrito filling and cheap to boot.
