The perfect vegetarian taco filling or side dish. Serves ~2.
1 tbs olive oil
1/2 onion, diced
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp salt
1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup water
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook the onion until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the spices. Add the beans and the water.
Cover the pan and reduce the heat so it simmers. Cook for 5 minutes, then mash about half of the beans using the back of a fork or a potato masher. If there is any liquid left, simmer uncovered until evaporated.
