Ingredients

Directions

  • Rinse and drain the black beans if canned.

  • Pour the olive oil into a skillet set over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions, peppers, and garlic for about three minutes. Sauté until the vegetables are slightly brown. Add the cumin, stir, and then reduce the heat to medium and cook for another two minutes.
