Quick and Easy Black Beans

2 Cans Black Beans, drained and rinsed 1/2 tablespoons olive oil 2/3 cup diced onion 2-3 garlic cloves, pressed or finely minced 2/3 cups chicken broth 1/4 teaspoon cumin 1/4 teaspoon coriander 1/4 teaspoon oregano 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1 lime In a saucepan on the stove, heat the olive oil to med-high heat. Saute onions for about 3 minutes or until they just start to become translucent. Add garlic and saute abut 30 seconds more. Add beans, broth, and remaining seasonings and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a low simmer and simmer for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. When they are done cooking, remove from heat and add in a few squeezes of fresh lime juice. Then use the back of a spoon or rubber spatula so smoosh (yes, that’s a technical culinary term) some of the beans. You don’t want to pulverize them, but you want to take a bunch of good smooshes so that some of the beans are smashed, which will thicken the sauce.
