- 2 tbs Olive Oil
- ½ Small Onion minced
- 1 Jalapeño seeded and minced
- 4 cloves Garlic minced
- 2 15 oz Cans Black Beans drained and rinsed
- ½ tsp Chili Powder
- ½ tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Ground Cumin
- 1 tsp Oregano
- ½ tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- 8 oz Tomato Sauce
- 8 oz Water
- 1 Lime juiced
Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and jalapeño. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent. Be careful not to burn the jalapeño.
Add the minced garlic and cook for about a minute until the garlic becomes fragrant.
Drain and rinse the canned black beans and add them to the skillet. Add chili powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, black pepper, and kosher salt, then stir to combine.
Add the tomato sauce, stir, and bring to a boil.
Add the water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and allow to simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring often to prevent sticking. Let it cook over low heat until the sauce reaches the desired consistency.
Add the lime juice, stir, and serve.
