Cuban Style Black Beans

1 Can Black Beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 C Onion, chopped
2 Cloves Garlic, chopped
1/4 C Water
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 Lime

Optional: Add chopped lean ham, green bell peppers.
Optional Topping: Sour Cream.

Saute' the onions and garlic over medium heat for 2 minutes. Do not brown.
Add Beans and water. Cover and cook for 10 minutes on low heat.

When ready to serve, squeeze the juice of 1/2 a lime into the beans and stir.
Serve with rice.

Of course I hit this with Tabasco but that is a given for just about anything that I cook. Diced avocado is also a nice topping but it then takes it out of the authentic Cuban realm.
