Ingredients
  

  • Black beans 1 pound/16 oz/454 grams You can use canned beans
  • 1 3/4 cup water for cooking the Beans
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 1/2 tbsp garlic minced
  • 1-2 tsp of Green Chilies/Jalapenos minced
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Taco Seasoning
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp salsa
  • 1 1/2 tsp Cumin/Jeera
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • Juice of 1/2 to 1 lime/lemon
  • Salt as needed being careful as salsa and taco seasoning both have salt

Instructions
 

  • Soak Beans overnight.
  • In hot oil, add cumin and let it crackle
  • Add Garlic and green chilies/jalapenos and cook till the raw smell goes away.
  • Add onions and cook till pink and translucent
  • Add Taco Seasoning,stir and add salsa and cook for a few minutes.
  • Add to Black Beans and cook till done(I used a Pressure and gave one whistle on high and one on lowest setting. Let pressure release naturally)
  • Give a generous squeeze of lemon/lime
  • Garnish with cilantro and onions

Notes

Canned Beans can be used instead of dry beans. If using canned,cook just till the flavors blend in with the beans,we dont really need to cook the beans as such. If pressure cooker is not available, use any pan with a tight fitting lid, bring to a boil and simmer till beans are cooked.
