Every time I go to Trader Joe’s, I leave wondering what what goodies I should have bought but didn’t. I’m always trying their new products, but I only go once a month, so I know I’m missing out on something. So in case you are a curious foodie who happens to live near a TJ’s, here’s one to try. Cuban Black Beans. What are they and how do you use them? I wasn’t sure, but by the time I found out, my whole family had devoured a spontaneous meal that I mistakenly thought would last two nights.
These beans need no other seasoning. They are spicy but not fiery hot. In addition to being mixed with rice, they would be an excellent side dish with pork or chicken or tucked in a taco or quesadilla.

Oh man! That looks great. We don’t have a Trader Joe’s anywhere near here though! I may have to look up a recipe.
Looks good, but I don’t like black beans.
These are the BEST black beans around!
