Fiesta Black Beans

Rounding out this week's Cinco de Mayo meal is this easy-to-prepare, light and flavorful dish of Fiesta Black Beans!  As you may recall, these beans were also accompanied by these Creamy Chicken Enchiladas and this Mexican Fried Corn.  The three dishes, together, brought some substantial individuality to the meal but also provided a nice combination of textures and flavors together.

These black beans are so simple to whip up, especially on a whim, and require hardly any effort at all.  And the best part is the flavor that comes from it!  With little work and such wonderful reward, why wouldn't you make this dish?! 

Easily enough, they could stand on their own as a main dish.  You can also alter them to your liking, making it as hot as you want and as flavorful as you prefer.  Topped off with a dollop of sour cream and you, my friends, have perfection....
