I always have a can of black beans in the pantry, ready to turn into a side dish, a soup, or even a bean dip. This easy version can be whipped up in less than 10 minutes. If you want the beans a little less spicy, cut the chili powder in half. These beans are great with Southwestern dishes such as tacos, fajitas, or Southwestern‐style wraps.
