How to Make Mexican Black Beans

Step-by-Step

Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat.
Add garlic, chili and cumin and saute 30 seconds.
Add beans and broth and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Coarsely mash beans with potato masher.
Continue boiling until thick, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes. (I cook mine longer - about 30 minutes).
Season to taste with lime juice, salt and pepper.
Add monterey pepper jack cheese on top and microwave for 2 minutes on high to melt cheese.
Transfer to bowl. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve.
