What are Mexican-style black beans?
Black beans (frijoles negros) are small, dense beans with a deep, earthy flavour, a staple of Mexican and Latin American cooking. In this Mexican-style preparation they are simmered with tomato, garlic, a savoury broth base and a hint of chilli, so they arrive pre-seasoned and ready to plate. They hold their shape well and pair naturally with rice, corn, avocado, lime and coriander.
Ristoris, Italian food-service quality
Ristoris is an Italian food-service brand based in Broni, in the province of Pavia, supplying restaurants and collective catering with pulses, vegetables and tomato products in catering formats. The 800 g can of seasoned black beans is sized for busy kitchens that serve Tex-Mex and international dishes at volume.
How to use it
Heat the beans through and serve in burritos, tacos, quesadillas, nachos and chilli con carne, or alongside rice and grilled meats. Blend them for refried-style beans and dips, or use as a protein-rich base for vegetarian bowls with corn, peppers and avocado. Because they are already seasoned, taste before adding extra salt or spice.
