These were very tasty! I added some fresh lime juice and about 3/4 teaspoon of cumin and used them for bean burritos. Yum!

Very Good!! Will definitely make again. Great in tortilla wraps with lettuce, salsa, and some sauted chicken.

Easy and tasty! I always pour canned beans in a sieve or colander and rinse well under running water; this step does away with the "gas problem" a lot of people experience after eating beans. Works like a charm! I then use a can of beef or chicken broth to replace the liquid. Also, I fry the onions until soft and almost browned, add the garlic and saute for just 15 - 20 seconds more, then add the broth and simmer until ready to serve, at which time you would add the cilantro. This was a method that a Cuban neighbor taught me for an even tastier dish.

I've been looking around for quite some time for a black bean recipe that replicates what we got at a little restaurant in Miami on a family vacation when I was a kid. This is the closest I've found yet. I let it simmer longer than directed to let flavors mingle a bit; I then let it stand for another 15 minutes or so before serving it over rice cooked in chicken broth.

I mixed all of the ingredients together and kept them in the fridge for two hours before cooking. Excellent flavor.

These were very good. I didn't have cilatro so I left it out. I'm sure it would have been better with it. I also added a bit of cumin. I didn't measure ingredients so mine were pretty spicy but I like things spicy! These were yummy layered inside my chicken burritos.

Nice and simple. I followed the recipe, except, let the beans simmer for 10-15 minutes. I think a few small changes will make this a mexican-night staple. Double the garlic, add a bit of fresh lime juice, and a little bit more cayenne pepper.

Delicious! I made this recipe as a side with the Jerky Chicken recipe found on this site. It was great. I sautéed the onions and garlic in a tiny bit of olive oil before adding the black beans. I also added the cayenne and a bit of lime juice at the same time as the beans. I simmered for about 30 minutes before adding the cilantro for the last 5 minutes. It turned out great! This will be a standard side for Mexican, Caribbean or South American dinners at my house.

Who would have ever thought a can of dressed up beans could taste so darn good! Not your typical mushy beans sitting along a side of mushy Mexican rice. Just perfect, and as written. Served this with Chicken Kabobs Mexicana and Mexican Rice III. Can't even begin to describe what a delicious part of this delicious meal this simple bean dish was. Thanks for posting the recipe!

These ARE the best! I make these all the time now. FYI - leftovers actually freeze pretty well too, so I keep some on hand to sneak into my son's quesadillas.

Oh my GOSH, this is so good. I cooked the recipe as written, but I let it simmer on the stove for about 45 minutes. Very tasty beans, I will make these again. Thank you for the recipe!

Nice recipe - went well with cheese enchiladas. To the "reviewer" complaining the pic is of red beans - black beans will not photograph well. To everyone else - use whatever beans you happen to have - this recipe works well with most -

Not sure what the buzz is about - after all the fantastic reviews, I was expecting a bit more. "Boring and bland" was my husband's comment. The red pepper added heat, but not a lot of spice. Overall the flavor was dull - it needs a good bit of doctoring to achieve a 5-star rating, in my opinion.

I was dreading taking out the can of black beans I bought, but decided to finally do it before they went bad. This recipe made them absolutely delicious! I also let the ingredients simmer for about 15mins and I only had a red onion, so that's what I used. The only thing that I think would make these more awesome is sprinkling some Jack cheese on top.
