Easy Vegan Mexican Black Beans
With school starting, things are about to start getting ultra busy. Usually it’s difficult to cook food every night but with this recipe, you can never go wrong. If you go out to a Mexican restaurant, it can tend to be expensive. Instead, I make this Mexican Black Bean recipe on those nights when I don’t have much time and need a healthy meal.
You can have these Mexican black bean in corn tortillas or over some brown rice! These beans are good as toppers or by themselves.
These will stay good in the fridge for about 5 days, or you could freeze some so you will have some for emergency situations.
