Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Black beans
- 1 cup Frozen corn
- 14.5 oz can Diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 2 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 1 Lime, cut into wedges (optional)
Instructions
Sort and rinse the black beans under cold water to remove debris. If using dried beans, soak them in water overnight or use the quick-soak method (boil for 1 hour before draining).
In the crock pot, add the soaked and rinsed black beans, frozen corn, diced tomatoes with green chilies (including the liquid), and vegetable broth.
Add the diced onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper into the crock pot.
Stir everything well, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the black beans are tender and the flavors have melded.
Stir the mixture occasionally if possible to ensure even cooking.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or spices if needed.
When serving, garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice, if desired. Serve warm.
