Recipe
1 onion, chopped
a few cloves of garlic, minced
a chili pepper or two, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp cinnamon
1 large can black beans, drained & rinsed
1-2 avocados
feta cheese, crumbled
coriander (or cilantro), chopped
crispy tortillas
rice
Heat some olive oil in a skillet, then saute the onion until soft. Add the garlic and chili, then the spices, then the beans. Cook until soft, stirring and mashing a bit. Serve with avocado, feta, and greens, with tortillas and/or rice if desired.
Notes
This dish was appropriate for certain sisters for its vegetarianism; however, we did have to leave out the chilis to keep things mild. It was still delicious and surprisingly filling. The cinnamon is a very nice touch with the beans. I was also skeptical of the feta (rather than something more ethnically-accurate like queso fresco) but it made for a very interesting taste. Overall it was easy, filling, not to expensive, and probably healthy, so a good vegetarian option.
