Spicy Citrus Black Beans

Earlier this week we had this yummy Tofu Ranchero for dinner, but I wanted to serve it with something more exciting than plain canned beans. Remembering some citrus black beans I recently tried in a Caribbean restaurant, I decided to start adding things until I could recreate that delicious flavor. After some sauteed onion and garlic, lots of spices, and some orange and lime juice; the ending black bean dish was delicious and unexpected. Full of flavor and nice change of pace from traditional black beans.
