Notes
Tips:
- This recipe is to show you how you can transform a can of black beans with just two ingredients, however if you are feeling like you want to experiment, adding the juice from canned chipotles in adobo sauce to this recipe would be amazing! Also, red pepper, red onion, and cilantro can be added after you add the coconut milk, as can the spices of cumin, paprika, and cayenne. The possibilities are truly endless!
