Preparation

Step 1

Dice the Onion, mince the garlic and finely slice the Jalapeño (leave seeds in for extra spicy).

Coat a large skillet with Olive Oil and bring to medium heat.

Sauté the Onions, Garlic and Jalapeño until the Onions are translucent (about 5 minutes).

Stir in the Chili Powder and Bay Leaf and cook for a further 2 to 4 minutes.

Add the black beans (including liquid), Diced Tomatoes and Salt & Pepper.

Bring to a low boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook covered, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes or until beans are soft.

Reduce heat and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until desired thickness is reached.

Serve as a side with your favorite Mexican meals!
