Ingredients:

1/2 c.

Onion, diced

1 tsp.

Garlic, minced

1 (15 oz.) can

Black beans

1 (15 oz.) can

Tomato sauce

1/2 tsp.

Ground cumin

1 tsp.

Ground coriander

1 tsp.

In a saucepan, combine onion, garlic, and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a simmer and simmer until liquid evaporates and onion is transparent, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in black beans with their liquid, tomato sauce, cumin, coriander, and chili powder. Simmer, covered, until flavors are blended, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking; thin if needed, with a little water. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
