Yummy Side Dish: Black Beans With Lime from Leah

This actually comes from Everyday Food magazine (thanks for that subscription Sarah!). I like to make this with Mexican food instead of just opening a can of refried beans--it's a little more interesting!

Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil

2 scallions (green onions), white and green parts separated, thinly sliced

Coarse salt and ground pepper

2 cans (190z each) black beans

1 tsp Chili Powder

1 tbsp Fresh Lime Juice (or more)



Directions:

1. In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add white part of scallions, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3 minutes.

2. Add beans, chili powder, and 1/4 cup of water. Cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in lime juice; season with salt and pepper. Serve garnished with green part of scallions.
