TIPS & TRICKS FOR THIS RECIPE:
– You can make this dish with dried black beans – it will take about two hours for the black beans to cook. If you have the time, it will produce a better textured dish with a deeper color. But if you are like me and time is off the essence, canned is absolutely perfect.
– We rinse canned beans to wash away the extra starch and salt. This will produce a better texture and flavor in the dish. Rinse till the water runs clear.
– When available, always buy the low sodium variety of any bean. This will allow you to better control the salt in your final dish.
– Great along side something like mushroom tacos (wink, wink), or you can use in a Mexican style bowl or taco salad.
