I absolutely loooove black beans!

I have plenty of appetizer, light meal type recipes for them.

I have a bag I want to soak tonight, and would like to make dinner with tomorrow night.

Who has some recipes for main dishes using black beans? I would welcome all!

Thanks!

My B-I-L makes a chicken - black bean soup. I haven't made this myself, but LOVE this soup...the absolute amounts aren't listed, so quantity will be something you can decide...his soup is at least 8 qts. so the amounts of liquid would be according to your household's requirements.

Cube 1 lb chicken breasts and brown

Add chicken broth (I'd say he used @ least 2 - 32oz containers)

black beans

corn (frozen, fresh, canned - whatever your preference) he used a bag of frozen

Rotel tomatoes - he used 2 cans

chili powder (to taste)
I'd say he used 1TBSP minimum,
(folks here in the south like their foods spicey)

cumin (to taste)
(the one thing my B-I-L showed me when I asked him about his soup
was the cumin was at least 3 TBSP. We love it, and the chili powder, but the quantities will be to individual taste)

And then just simmer it on the stove.

They put tortilla chips in the bowl,
add the soup
top with jalapeno jack cheese (or cheese of your choice)
A wedge of avocado on top would be great too!
