- 1 can black beans rinsed and drained
- 1 cup diced tomatoes

- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 lime zested and juiced

Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

- Serve hot, topped with additional cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
Notes
For best results, use fresh cilantro. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stove with a splash of broth for added moisture.
