**Ingredients**

- 1 can black beans, about 15 ounces
- ¼ cup bone broth, plus more as needed
- Garlic powder to taste
- Paprika to taste
- Cumin to taste
- Salt to taste
- ½–1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, to finish

**Directions**

1. Drain and rinse the black beans.
2. Add the beans, broth, and seasonings to a small saucepan.
3. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Cook for 5–10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add another splash of broth if they get too dry.
4. Mash a few beans with the back of your spoon for a creamier texture.
5. Turn off the heat and stir in the apple cider vinegar, starting with ½ teaspoon-ish. Taste and adjust the salt or vinegar.

Serve with eggs, in a taco bowl or wrap, or as an easy side! Anything really! Such an underrated tool.

**Makes about 3 servings.**
