Cuban-Style Black Beans

Cuban-Style Black Beans

These Cuban-Style Black Beans are absolutely delicious and worth every minute they take to soak and cook! Black beans infused with smoky cumin, oregano, onion, and just a hint of cilantro!


Cuban-Style Black Beans

I have a tendency to use seasoned canned black beans in my recipes. If I plan in advance, I love to make these Cuban-Style Black Beans on the weekend. I will use them in a recipe that weekend, and I freeze the leftovers!

Cuban-Style Black Beans

Now, before anyone wants to debate if these are authentic Cuban black beans, these beans are Cuban-Style Black Beans. The flavors added to the beans have a similar resemblance to Cuban black beans, but I am making no claims that these beans are a replica to the real deal. What I can say with confidence is these beans are so good! Now that we have that out of the way, all you have to do is figure out if you want to serveĀ these flavor infused beans over rice (perhaps with some cheese on top) or add them to your favorite recipe calling for black beans!
