Black Beans and Rice

It's no secret that I love Mexican and/or Spanish cuisine. Chipotle, Pollo Tropical, and Qdoba are all in my list of favorite "fast-food" eateries. But when I can cook some of these dishes at home, it saves money and time.  Black beans are great. They're filling, tasty, and they work well in a variety of dishes.

My recipe for black beans is all done to taste. I'll try to give approximations of what I used...

Ingredients
1 can of black beans, undrained
1/4 cup of onion, chopped
1 tbsp. garlic, minced
Olive oil
White vinegar
Water
Cilantro

1. Coat bottom of frying pan in olive oil. Over medium heat, saute onion and garlic in pan till caramelized. 

2. Add beans to the pan. Fill 1/4 of the can with water, and add to pan. Boil for 10 minutes. Lower heat.  Add cilantro and white vinegar to taste. Let simmer for another 10 minutes.

3. Serve over rice. (I used Uncle Ben's Boil in a Bag brown rice).  Top with chopped onion and cilantro.
