Receta Frijoles Negros (Black Beans)
I love these beans with any kind of rice. Also, you can puree them with some some taco seasoning and serve them as a dip.
This recipe is a good pair with churrasco grilled meats and bbq.
You can make these in the crockpot, but after soaking, they cook on the stovetop fairly quickly.
