About this dish
Frijoles negros is a Latin American dish made with black beans, prepared in Guatemala, Cuba, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and other nations in Latin America. The black bean, a legume of the species Phaseolus vulgaris, is usually purchased in either canned or dried form. One cup of dried black beans yields approximately 2+1⁄2 cups of cooked beans. Black bean soup is another commonly prepared Cuban favorite.
