Black Bean Standard

Black Bean Standard

The Black Bean Standard is a companion dish to virtually any main course.  It is a standard to barbequed meats, tacos, as a compliment adorning white fish, or as a side to your egg breakfast.  This dish is versatile and you will find that you will make it often.  It's even great as a left over.  Just heat and eat.  Ive been making it for about twelve years now and I still think of it as a great standby.
