Cafe Rio Black Bean Recipe

A delicious copycat version of Cafe Rio’s Black Beans. The perfect side dish for any Mexican meal, BBQ, and more!

dmittedly, I’m not a huge fan of beans. Forrest is the opposite and could probably eat some kind of bean with each meal! But, I do love this recipe for baked beans. There is so much flavor packed into each bite. Jack especially loves these — we had quite a few leftover after our party, and he’s been having them for lunch every day.

And if you aren’t a big fan of tomatoes, don’t let the fact that you use tomato juice deter you from making these. The tomato flavor is very subtle, and just adds a little bit of sweetness and acidity to the recipe.
