10 Easy Black Bean Recipes
I don’t know about you, but sometimes I find myself in a grocery rut. I just buy the same things over and over again. (And Relay Foods actually makes it really simple to save your grocery list and order your regular items each week, which is awesome.) It’s perfect, because I know I can make something out of the ingredients I have, but sometimes I get bored of the same old thing over and over. So I thought I’d start a little mini-series and share with you some of my favorite recipes for the things that are a staple in my pantry.
I’ll kick things off with black beans because they’re one of my favorite ingredients. They’re delicious, healthy, and cheap. That’s about all I need to be happy. 😉 So here 10 ways to use black beans. (Note: Many of these recipes are not my own, so click the pictures for the source of the photo & recipe!)
