Make sure to soak the beans overnight to ensure they cook evenly and quickly. You can also use canned black beans if you’re short on time, but the flavor won’t be quite as rich. Don’t skip the spices in this recipe – they’re what make it so flavorful! And feel free to get creative with the toppings – diced avocado, chopped cilantro, and shredded cheese are all great options. Enjoy!
