One of my husbands favorite dishes is super simple black beans and rice. Very low effort but very comforting and filling.
Black beans are very versatile, I make them as a side to tacos but they very easily turn into a meatless main dish when served with rice.
Finely dice onion and cilantro. Chop roma tomato. Press garlic clove through garlic press, or finely dice.
Heat a medium sized saucepan over medium heat. Add olive oil, onion and garlic. Cook until onion is translucent, about two minutes.
Add black beans, tomato, and spices to onion and garlic. Once bubbling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
Crumble queso fresco over top and serve with white rice.
