black beans

🥗Healthier: lentils

💰Cheaper: pinto beans

Pinto beans are often less expensive and provide similar texture.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is a more budget-friendly option.

Soak black beans overnight in water.

Drain and rinse the soaked beans.

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic; sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in cumin, oregano, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper; cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the soaked beans and enough water to cover them by 2 inches.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover; simmer for 1.5-2 hours until beans are tender.

Check occasionally, adding more water if necessary to keep beans submerged.

Once cooked, stir in vinegar and lime juice; adjust seasoning to taste.

Remove bay leaves before serving; garnish with chopped cilantro.
