Ingredients

• 1 large onion, diced
• 1 red pepper, diced
• 1 green pepper, diced
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 tbsp. ground cumin
• 2 (15 oz) cans of black beans, drained and rinsed well
• 1 (14 oz) can of diced tomatoes, drained
• 2 jalapenos, seeded and diced (I had to use jarred jalapenos cause apparently grocery stores around me don't have fresh jalapenos -- yeah, seriously?, so if you're using it from a jar, grab 2 large fingerfuls of them and chop them up finely)
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Any kind of rice
