Here, humble canned black beans get gussied-up with chipotle peppers, cumin, orange juice and lime juice which gives them the perfect balance of sweet-spicy flavor. They’re fantastic over rice as a vegetarian meal. But, they’re also excellent served as a sauce spooned over pork, a filling for a burrito or as a simple side dish topped with low-fat sour cream. As an alternative, you could also turn them into a festive party dip and accompany them with baked tortillas. Fragrant cilantro lends itself well to this dish but you could substitute chopped green onions if you have them on hand.
