Black beans-- nature's magic fruit (yes, from the rhyme). They can take on so many personalities! These have a BBQ sass to them.Black beans are full of fiber AND antioxidants! They also contain a bunch of protein! If you use canned black beans, rinse them before using! Note: I used BBQ sauce from a jar, which can be not-so-healthy. I will be making my own in the near future and I will post my best recipe. Until then, I like Annie's (organic)-- look at the ingredients of yours and make sure that yours doesn't include high fructose corn syrup in the top 10 ingredients, and look for less than 300mg sodium per serving.
