Chili’s Black Beans (and Rice)

By Addie

You can make these beans at home, and do so very inexpensively. To save time we start with canned black beans. Great side dish with tacos.

Ingredients

• 2 (15.5 oz.) Cans of Black Beans
• 1/2 tsp. Sugar
• 1/2 tsp. Chili Powder
• 1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder

Preparation

Step 1

Place in sauce pan and mix through. Let simmer for about 20 – 25 minutes. Place beans in a small bowl because of the juices. Add your serving of rice on the side, a generous helping of picadillo. and sprinkle with a tablespoon of crushed tortilla chips (optional).

"We just use pre-seasoned (with a bit of salt and garlic powder) canned black beans (not drained) and our salsa in 1:1/32 ratio. So 32oz of beans would require 1fl oz of salsa." Chili's employee

Actually I think this tastes nothing like the black beans at Chili's. I find that if you take a can of Goya black bean soup and top it with some pico de gallo it's just like they serve at the restaurant!
