Yeah, it's a short cut, but I don't care! My friend gave me a can she got
from a free food pantry and her family won't use them.

Can you say black bean and cheese tacos? How about black bean and cheese
taquitos?

YUM! Couldn't have arrived at our door at a better time, too, because I
have about 20 musgovian corn tortillas. Fry 'em up crisp and you'd never
know that they're a little old. (Not stale, just a little crumbly.)

I'll eat well for the next couple of days. I'm
happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

canned beans are a staple for me. They aren't cheating any more than frozen
corn. I love to have extra cans of great northern, kidney, black and garbonzo
beans in the pantry for whatever I feel like making.

Also, they're a quick source of protein when I can't think of anything more
creative to make for David.

I keep canned around for when I don't want to make a whole pot.
I love black bean nachos! Just the beans, chunky hot salsa, and
shredded cheddar.

Nothing wrong with short cuts when the canned product is as close to
the fresh as beans are. I always rinse them, though.

Fried black bean taquitos, with or without cheese, are the greatest for
eating guacamole. -aem

I always have cans of black beans around! I use them for everything
that calls for black beans, unless it is a dish that is a showcase for
them specifically.

There should be NO shame in using them.

Happy eating!

It totally was.
We were busy today and I didn't get to making dinner until late and we didn't
eat until 10. I'd hoped to get veggie chili made as I feel inspired but it
just didn't happen.

You neeeeeed some sour cream for dipping! EG

If you look at the nutrition in black beans, you can
easily rationalize the downside of such eating.

Enjoy!

Steve opined:

Black beans are the best canned bean there is for general purpose
Mexican/Tex-mex/Cal-mex foods. More flavor and better
texture/size than most other beans.

Mmm.... I dunno, my tastes aren't as immutable as that. Sometimes I think
pinto beans are better.

While everybody has jumped on the Tex-Mex bandwagon here -- and there's
nothing wrong with that; I'm perfectly happy there too -- let me point out
that you can also make falafel or hummus from canned black beans.

.....mmmm.... black bean falafels fried inside a corn tortilla, with a dollop
of yogurt...

Have fun cooking and enjoy!
