6 servings
- 2 cans (15 oz each) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tbsp olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- 3 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
- ¼ cup water
- ½ tsp salt, plus more to taste
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the minced garlic, cumin, and smoked paprika and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and the garlic is just golden at the edges, about 1 minute. Watch closely, as the garlic can brown quickly.
