Preparation
Step 1
Make the Crema: In a small bowl, combine the lime zest, garlic, and Greek yogurt. Season with a pinch of salt. Set aside.
Step 2
Make the Pickled Red Onions: In another small bowl, combine the lime juice, red onion, sugar, and salt. Let the mixtures stand while you prepare the beans.
Step 3
Cook the Beans: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, peppers, and jalapeño. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened and browned at the edges, 10-12 minutes. Stir in the garlic, oregano, and chili powder. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the black beans, tomatoes with juices, 2/3 cup water, and salt. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the mixture has thickened, about 20 minutes. Taste and add more salt, if needed.
Step 4
We like to serve the beans over rice or quinoa with sliced avocado, cilantro, the lime crema, and pickled onions.
