Rice and Beans

1 Bag of black beans
1 fork full of minced garlic (maybe a little under a Tablespoon)
6 rings of jalepeño  (from a jar)
6 cubes of beef bullion
cumin (2 tsps ?)
oregano (1 tsp?)

Can cook on a pot or overnight in crockpot on low.  When beans are soft mash them with a potato masher so that maybe 1/4 get mashed.  This makes the sauce thicker.  You can squeeze the juice from the other half of the lime and sprinkle in fresh cilantro if you like.  I think the beef bullion is what makes these beans yummy.  I wouldn't use chicken or veggie

Lime Cilantro Rice
 Cook rice until done.   Immediately sprinkle fresh chopped cilantro so that it cooks slightly and flavors the rice.  Squeeze the juice from lime. Salt if you haven't done so already.
