Black Beans

My husband is famous from these black beans. They look like just ordinary bean, but don't let them trick you because they have kick and tang!

Cook your black beans up which ever way you usually do. Dry beans or canned, it doesn't matter. Season with Braggs Liquid Aminos, Cayenne Pepper, Fresh Lime Juice, and Real Salt. So Good!!! Cilantro would be great too!

Serve with rice, tacos, wraps, fish, or any kind of mexican food. Enjoy!
