In a skillet (you’ll need a deeper one, or one you use for sauces) over medium heat, add in your olive oil and garlic and onion. Stir and allow to cook until the onion is translucent. This should take 3 - 4 minutes.
Next, you will add in the bell pepper and green chiles and the lime juice to your skillet. Cook together for about 5 minutes or until the bell pepper starts to soften to al dente.
Pro Tip: I toss in a couple of the whole lime wedges after I squeeze them in because I think it gives it more flavor. But usually just the wedges from 1 of the limes. I don't want to be fishing out a ton of lime wedges. C
Now you’re ready to add in your black beans and cilantro and seasonings. Stir everything together until mixed and then allow to just sit until simmering for about 5 minutes. Then turn up the heat a bit higher than medium. I do this to “refry” the beans a little. I want them to get mushy and for some of them to break apart as they cook on the high heat. Not all of them get that way, which is the best part! I would say this maybe takes about 10-ish minutes to do and will require you to stir them up off the bottom of the pan every minute or so.
*If you have a gas stove, really keep an eye on them as you probably have a much hotter cooking temp than my electric stove. Don't want ya to burn your beans!
