Please help--black beans and rice.

Fh will be home in a bit--i wanted to have dinner ready when he gets home. (he does all teh cooking in the house). we started the fat smash diet and we have to eat bean and brown rice tonight... i was wondering how do you make black beans from the can? Do I add onions or peppers? How do I season them and add flavor (but keep it healthy). please help.

Re: Please help--black beans and rice.

Can you have olive oil?

If so, dice some peppers and garlic and onions and saute them in olive oil.
DRAIN AND RINSE THE BEANS!!!! Then add the beans with some pepper and heat up. When you boil the water for the rice make sure to some adobo seasoning (if you have it)

You should get recaito (not sure of the spelling) it's made from GOYA-it's green. You put a spoon and half full in the pot with the after you've poured in the beans. Then you add some Sazon Goya seasoning packets (orange package)-your kitchen will smell awesome, not to mention the beans will be delicious! HTH
