I have seen this recipe on so many blogs, on so many menu posts, on Pinterest... everywhere. But it never appealed to me. I never understood why people raved about it based on the ingredients. It seemed good, but not like anything I just HAD to make. Well, I caved people. I gave in to temptation and peer pressure. Ultimately I gave into the fact that I am a lazy cook lately and this is a super easy meal. And boy was I glad. I was raving about this with every bite. I don't know if it was just the perfect blend of flavors, or the cilantro lime rice I paired it with, but I was happy. So happy I'm making it again this week. Repeating a recipe in the Stephanie Cooks kitchen is the highest form of flattery! This is great for summer- throw it all in your crock pot and let the crock pot do the work!

Should I drain the black beans first?
