mexican white beans

 

These beans are DELICIOUS!

mexican white beans (recipe inspired by a gluten free plate)

2 cans white beans (I used cannellini, one can drained and one can with juices)

1 white onion, minced

1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced (or 2 tablespoons sliced marinated jalapenos, diced)

4 cloves garlic

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 teaspoons oregano

1 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon salt

vegetable oil

Heat a large pan over medium heat.  Add the onion, jalapeno and garlic and cook for 10 minutes until onion is soft.  Add the beans and spices and lower the heat so the beans can simmer at least ten minutes.  For more flavor let them simmer for up to 25 more minutes.

Serve with cilantro lime rice.  Yum!
