Voedingsbegeleiding
Ingrediënten en vervangingen
All you need to make this easy dinner in less than 15 minutes are:
- Zwarte bonen in blik – I am using one can of drained black beans and one can of undrained black beans – in their juice.
- Ui – Fijngehakt.
- Teentjes knoflook – crushed
- Avocado-olie of olijfolie
- Komijn, Paprika, Gedroogde oregano – voor de smaak.
- Tomatenpuree – If you are used to eating Mexican Black beans in your favorite Mexican restaurant, there’s no tomato paste in their recipe. But if you love the tomato flavor in beans, that’s how I make them. Feel free to skip this ingredient for an authentic Mexican black bean recipe.
How To Make Mexican Black Beans
Mexican black beans are canned black beans cooked in a blend of Mexican spices. You can twist the recipe with a few options, and I will share all my secrets below. It’s super simple to cook your black beans.
- First, add avocado oil to a large non-stick pan and bring to medium-high heat.
- Add finely chopped onion and cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally until fragrant.
- Stir in the crushed garlic and dry spices: oregano, cumin, paprika, and salt. Stir fry the spices for 20 seconds. This adds a special flavor to the dish rather than adding spices later.
- Now add both cans of black beans. One drained, one undrained.
- Pour the tomato paste now if you opt to use it. Cook the mixture for 6 to 8 minutes under medium heat, stirring occasionally until the liquid evaporates.
- Taste and season with some of the optional ingredients listed below.
Below are some tasty add-ins you can try in this black bean recipe. They are unconventional but so delicious. After adding the beans to the pan, try adding:
- 2 teaspoons of soy sauce instead of salt
- 1-2 teaspoons of maple syrup for a sweet note
- Tomato paste – as seen in the picture, I like to add tomato paste to Mexican black beans, especially to use as a filling in vegan tacos.
- A bit of lime juice – for a tangy flavor.
- Fresh cilantro – add finely chopped cilantro just before serving.
- Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce – for a spicy flavor.
Presenteren
You can serve these Mexican black beans as is or half-mashed with a potato masher. To do so, remove half of the cooked black beans from the pan and place them in a shallow bowl. Mash the beans using a potato masher, then return to the saucepan. Stir to combine with the remaining cooked black beans.
These black beans are delicious for making vegan tacos, enchiladas, or burritos. Use them into tortillas like my:
- Quinoa tortilla's
- Tortilla's van kikkererwtenmeel
- Red Lentils Tortillas
- Veganistische glutenvrije tortilla's
- Platbrood met 2 ingrediënten
You can simply serve them on top of a bowl of kokos-jasmijnrijst and add a drizzle of vegan nacho cheese sauce for a simple burrito bowl.
Bijgerechten
You can serve these Mexican-style black beans with any side dish you love. My favorite combo is black beans and sweet potatoes or tortillas chips. Here are some ideas to serve with your black beans:
- Vegan zoete aardappelovenschotel
- Airfryer Zoete Aardappelblokjes
- Gebakken zoete aardappel uit de airfryer
- Kikkererwtenchips
- Tortillachips uit de airfryer
Allergie-uitwisselingen
If you are allergic to some of the ingredients or have specific dietary requirements, you can try the following substitutions:
- Zwarte bonen – The closest swap to black beans are red kidney beans or pinto beans. But any canned beans work, including lentils, or you can use my lentil taco recipe gebruiken.
- Low-FODMAP – Laat de ui en knoflook achterwege.

So stupid good! Made it just as you say with the chilpotle in adobo along with the tomato paste. Along with the onion I added a red pepper, diced and a poblano pepper, diced.
Just starting my plant based eating & served it to my vegan friends. They LOVED it! THANK YOU
Thank you so much for this recipe. I make it with rice, gaucamole, sweet potatoes, and a chopped salad. It tastes great. And I use the recipe over and over.
Thank you for your Mexican Black Bean recipe. It tastes great. We love it with guacamole, rice, sweet potato and chopped salad.
dank je!!!
I did not like this very much tasted quite bland and dry, saved it by adding in chopped tomatos and some cayenne pepper and chilli flakes. Would of added some chopped green pepper for more colour but didn’t have any.
Tomatoes and chili peppers are exactly what I recommend adding to the sauce in the recipe instructions 🙂
This was excellent. I added 1/2 cup jarred salsa at the end (heated through) and served it with homemade guacamole.
Excellent in tacos. I added half a jar of Chipotle chilli in Adobo sauce because I like that smokey flavour, but really, this recipe is stand alone.
Dank je.
Great idea, glad you loved the recipe!
Husband and I really enjoyed this. We ate it with rice as a quick simple meal. Def will make it on a regular basis. Thanks!
