black beans

What can I do with black beans besides putting them in buritto/ wraps with chicken, cheese and salsa. Give me you ideas for meals. Thanks!

One thing I like to do with black beans is to slice a brown some nice spicy sausage (like Aidells or whatever you like), saute onions, peppers and then mix with black beans. Serve over rice and it's a jazzed up beans and rice dish and very easy to throw together.

You can use pasta if you don't like or have red quinoa. Just double the dressing.

Ingredients:
1 cup
2 cups water
1 cup black beans
1 ear corn (grilled and kernels cut from cob)
1/2 red pepper (sliced)
1 jalapeno pepper (sliced)
1 green onion (sliced)
1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)
1 tablespoon oil
1 lime (juice)
1 chipotle in adobo sauce (chopped)
1 teaspoon cumin
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Simmer the quinoa in the water until the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
2. Mix the quinoa, black beans, corn, red pepper, jalapeno, green onion, and cilantro in a large bowl.
3. Mix the oil, lime juice, chipotle in adobo sauce, cumin, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
4. Toss the salad in the dressing.

I essentially ate this tonight, minus the sausage. Black beans (simmered with cumin and chili powder) + green chilies and sautéed green peppers and onions. Delicious with corn tortillas!

Fresh corn -saute. Add bell peppers & onions some garlic,cumin and beans. Half cherry tomatoes, dice avocado. Mix together.

I eat on top of lettuce, on a tortilla or with chips.

I often add them to an egg white omelet with salsa. I also eat a bowl of them with salsa and other toppings, like corn, cheese, sour cream. I make my own black beans though so they are tasty on their own - will post the recipe later.

I add them to my guacamole.

11:38 here. Below is the link to the recipe I use. I make a big batch and freeze them. Delish.

Mix drained beans with a cup of cooked rice, a lightly beaten egg, cilantro and scallions, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, form into patties, cook in small amount of oil in skillet- bean burgers!

My favorite chili recipe is as follows: saute any green peppers, hot peppers, and/or onions I have on hand. Add a can of black beans and a can of diced tomatoes. Add chili powder, cayenne, cumin to taste. Simmer at least until warm, and longer if I can hold out. Eat over rice or wrapped in corn tortillas -- whatever's on hand. If I liked eggs, this would be great with eggs, too. Even better the next day.

I've served this to company (ILs) before, and used as a topping for a mashed potato bar at a baby shower (expecting mom was so sick, she was basically eating only potatoes).

how long do beans stay fresh if you cooked them yourself?

Is it true that beans are good for the heart?
