Cuban style black beans

Get your Latin groove on with these Cuban-inspired black beans loaded with mucho sabor (lots of flavor)! Easy to make and ready in 20 minutes, but don't let that fool you, these beans have a lot of flavor. Healthy, high in fiber, vegetarian, gluten-free, inexpensive and delicious!

I love combining Latin American dishes from different Central and South American countries to create dishes with Latin American fusion. Try this with some of my Latin American favorites like coriander and lime rice, barbacoa beef, sweet barbacoa pork, Mexican slow cooked pork carnitas, slow cooked pernil, and pollo sabroso to name a few.

This is my recipe for busy weekdays when I don't have time to make beans from dried beans. Tommy loves them, so I do them a lot.
