For a smoky flavor, add a smoked ham hock or a teaspoon of smoked paprika during the simmering process. Adjust the amount of salt, sugar, and pepper to your liking. If you're short on time, you can use canned black beans. Rinse them thoroughly before adding them to the recipe. Reduce the simmering time to about 30 minutes. Serve over white or brown rice. Garnish with salsa, sour cream (or a dairy-free alternative), shredded cheese, or chopped cilantro.
