Black beans and rice is a classic Latin American dish that is both hearty and delicious. It is made with black beans, rice, and a variety of seasonings. The dish can be made in a variety of ways, but the most common way is to cook the beans and rice separately and then combine them together. Once combined, the dish is often topped with cheese and served with a side of sour cream and salsa. This dish is a great source of protein and fiber, and it is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. It can be served as a main course or a side dish, and it is perfect for a casual meal or a special occasion.

QUICK BLACK BEANS WITH RICE
Steps:
- In a 6-quart pressure cooker over medium-high heat, add the olive oil, onions, garlic, jalapeno and salt. Saute until the onions are translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the beans, epazote and 6 cups water; stir well, and then lock the lid (following the manufacturer's instructions). Once the beans come up to pressure, turn the heat down to medium to maintain pressure; cook for 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest for 5 minutes, then release the pressure. Remove the epazote, and taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Just before serving, fold the cilantro and lime juice into the cooked rice.
- Garnish beans with the Cotija and serve alongside the rice.
CHEESY, SPICY BLACK BEAN BAKE
Whether or not you've fallen for this cheesy white-bean tomato bake, we'd like you to meet its bolder counterpart, smoky and spiced, with lots of melty cheese. Black beans shine in a deep-red mixture of fried garlic, caramelized tomato paste, smoked paprika and cumin. The whole skillet gets coated in a generous sprinkling of sharp Cheddar or Manchego cheese, then baked until melted. The final result is what you hope for from a really good chili or stew, but in a lot less time. For a spicier rendition, add a pinch of cayenne with the paprika, or douse the final skillet with hot sauce. Serve with tortillas, tortilla chips, rice, a baked potato or fried eggs.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 475 degrees. In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Fry the garlic until lightly golden, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste, paprika, red-pepper flakes and cumin (be careful of splattering), and fry for 30 seconds, reducing the heat as needed to prevent the garlic from burning.
- Add the beans, water and generous pinches of salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top then bake until the cheese has melted, 5 to 10 minutes. If the top is not as browned as you'd like, run the skillet under the broiler for 1 or 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
