Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 small green pepper, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ jalapeño, diced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon coriander
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 cans black beans, undrained
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • juice of 1 lime
Directions
  1. Add the oil to a large pot and turn the heat on high. Add the onion, green pepper, garlic, and jalapeño. Sauté for 5 minutes until the onions are translucent.
  2. Add the cumin, coriander, oregano, salt, smoked paprika, and pepper. Stir to coat the vegetables.
  3. Add the water and black beans. Stir and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook for 10 minutes uncovered, stirring occasionally. The bean mixture will thicken. If you want them thicker, cook for 10 minutes longer.
  4. Stir the lime juice and cilantro into the beans.
  5. Serve topped with chopped scallions.
