Southwestern Black Beans

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons peanut oil
  • 1 small jalapeno pepper with some seeds, minced
  • 1 large clove garlic, minced
  • One 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and strained
  • 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh oregano
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh cilantro
  • Zest of 1/2 lime, optional

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the jalapeno and garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the beans, 1/3 cup water, oregano and 1/8 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until most of the liquid is evaporated, about 3 minutes.
