Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (15 oz each) black soybeans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, chopped white onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 small, seeded and chopped jalapeño
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Drain and rinse the black soybeans thoroughly under cold water to remove excess salt.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and chopped jalapeño to the skillet, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the drained black soybeans to the skillet, stirring to incorporate with the onion, garlic, and jalapeño.
Sprinkle the cumin, chili powder, sea salt, and black pepper over the bean mixture, stirring well to evenly distribute the spices.
Reduce the heat to low and let the beans cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the beans to soften slightly.
Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, mash the beans to your desired consistency. You can keep them chunky or smooth them out completely.
Taste the mashed beans, and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve immediately as a side dish or a filling for tacos, burritos, or as a dip for your favorite low-carb snacks.
