How To Make Frijoles Parados | Guatemalan Black Beans | BLACK BEAN RECIPE | Goya Beans

Rinse black beans under cold water and soak overnight in a large bowl.

Drain the soaked beans and transfer them to a pot.

Add fresh water to cover the beans by about two inches.

Chop onion and garlic, then add them to the pot along with cumin and bay leaves.

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer.

Cook the beans for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until tender, adding water as needed.

Season with salt and pepper to taste during the last 15 minutes of cooking.

In a separate pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat.

Chop tomatoes and jalapeños, then sauté them in the oil until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the bay leaves from the beans and stir in the sautéed mixture.

Chop cilantro and add it to the beans, stirring to combine.

Serve the beans hot, garnished with lime wedges and avocado slices.
