Ingredients

• Olive oil
• 1 small red onion diced
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 16 oz salsa verde
• 27 oz black beans drained
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• Kosher salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. On a cutting board, finely dice the red onions. Mince the garlic cloves.
2. Over medium heat in a medium nonstick pan, coat the bottom of the pan in olive oil. Add the red onion and cook, stirring often, for 4 minutes until slightly transluscent. Add the garlic and cook for a minute. Season with a bit of salt and pepper. Add 3/4 of the salsa verde (save the rest for Jerk Chicken Tacos) and the black beans. Bring to a boil and then turn to low so it will simmer while you continue with Main Day.
3. Set a timer for 30 minutes and stir occasionally.
4. Once finished, remove from heat and cool before putting in a tight fitting container and refrigerating.
