  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

  2. Stir in cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika. Cook for another 30 seconds.
  3. Add the beans and stir to coat with the spices.
  4. Pour in water or broth and simmer for 5–7 minutes until beans are heated through.

  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve warm.
