Ingredients

• 2 cans (15 oz each) black soybeans
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, chopped white onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 small, seeded and chopped jalapeño
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the black soybeans thoroughly under cold water to remove excess salt.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and chopped jalapeño to the skillet, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the drained black soybeans to the skillet, stirring to incorporate with the onion, garlic, and jalapeño.

Step 6

Sprinkle the cumin, chili powder, sea salt, and black pepper over the bean mixture, stirring well to evenly distribute the spices.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and let the beans cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the beans to soften slightly.

Step 8

Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, mash the beans to your desired consistency. You can keep them chunky or smooth them out completely.

Step 9

Taste the mashed beans, and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.

Step 11

Serve immediately as a side dish or a filling for tacos, burritos, or as a dip for your favorite low-carb snacks.
