Ingredients

1 jalapeño ($0.24)

1 Tbsp cooking oil ($0.04)

1/2 tsp ground cumin ($0.05)

2 15oz. cans black beans ($1.88)

Instructions

1 Slice the stem off the jalapeño, then cut it in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds (leave a few in if you prefer your beans spicy), then finely dice the rest of the jalapeño. Mince the garlic.

2 Add the diced jalapeño and minced garlic to a small sauce pot with the cooking oil and cumin. Sauté over medium heat for about one minute.

3 Add the beans (do not drain) and bring to a simmer over medium to heat through. Taste and season with salt if needed. Serve hot.
