Black Beans

This is my easy, no-brainer, go to side for taco night.  It is super quick and delicious and you can make enough for a crowd without breaking the bank.  Just double or triple the recipe as needed.  Enjoy!

Black Beans (Shelly Redmond)

1/2 yellow onion, diced

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 T. extra virgin olive oil

2 cans black beans, 1 drained and rinsed the other with can juices

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 c. chopped cilantro

Saute onion and garlic in olive oil over medium heat until soft but not brown, about 5-7 minutes.  Add black beans, salt and pepper and heat through, allowing some of the liquid to evaporate and the beans to thicken a bit.  Just before serving add chopped cilantro.
