This one comes from a neighbor, and she had been telling me about her famous black beans long before I was able to try them in person. Believe me, they were worth the wait! Once I tried them, I had to get the recipe... I've made it twice and both times, I was asked for the recipe, too! As usual, I changed it up a little, but the bulk to this recipe is solely to her credit.
2 cans low-sodium black beans, rinsed and drained
1 bunch cilantro, FINELY minced
1 large tomato, chopped
3 stalks green onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 large avocado, diced
1 small can green chiles
1 lime
1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 tsp Tony Chachere's
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 tbsp Mrs. Dash Onion & Herb seasoning
Simmer beans, cilantro, tomato, onion, garlic and spices on the stove for 30 minutes. Add the diced avocado, squeeze the lime into beans, and simmer until ready to serve. Immediately before serving, stir in Greek Yogurt. Top with mozzarella cheese and serve.
I wanted to make this recipe tonight, but I'm confused about how to simmer the beans, cilantro, spices etc without any liquid... Do you add water or chicken stock? Or just simmer with no liquids?
ReplyDeleteSorry I just now saw this... but for future, when you've rinsed the beans, there will be enough water to add a little liquid... plus, the water content of the tomatoes gives it a little more. I'll bet you worked out your own method at this point, though!
