black beans

So what's your favorite way to cook/spice a can of black beans? For making beans and rice or something? Actually never done this before, and I know that the beans just heated plain from the can are quite bland.

Vegetarian, please. And thanks!

For beans and rice? Drain off liquid from canned beans, add to cooked rice, heat gently while stirring in garlic powder, cumin powder, salt, black pepper.

Quantities of seasoning are always 'until it tastes good to you' --- sprinkle a little on, stir in, taste, repeat until it tastes good.

That is, add the beans to cooked rice. I usually discard the packing liquid from the beans.
