"These are so easy and quick to make. A wonderful side dish to go with any Mexican dish. And, as you can see from my picture I posted, you can change it up a bit. This time I used pinto beans vs black beans; and instead of regular salsa I used chunky salsa. Now, I normally use black beans, but I figured the flavors would equally as good. So have some fun with the recipe, and make it yours. Other than slicing a bit of onion ... the rest is pantry items, so it doesn't take any time to throw together."

Step 1
Vegetables -- In a large saute pan, add the olive oil and saute the onion and garlic on medium heat for 4-5 minutes. You want them to sweat, not brown.

Step 3
Simmer ... Add a little of the broth and continue cook on medium low heat. Take a fork and mash/smash up some of the beans as they simmer. Check for any additional seasoning. Add a little more broth if the beans get too dry. They can stay on the stove up to 30 minutes.
Step 4
Serve ... Right before serving, add in the cilantro, mix, and transfer to a serving bowl. ENJOY!
