Beans and Rice

This is what I ate for lunch: black beans with garlic and lime, spanish rice, jack cheese, and cilantro. Tasty and healthy!
Black Beans with Garlic and Lime

1 can black beans
1 can roasted green chilies
3 Tbs. olive oil
7-8 cloves garlic
zest of 1 lime
juice of 1/2 lime
pepper

Heat olive oil in a medium size frying pan over medium heat. Chop garlic (not too finely). Add to olive oil and cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is getting browned. Add lime zest and green chilies. Cook for a few minutes, stirring once or so. Add the beans (I drained out about half of the liquid) and some pepper. Cook over medium to medium-high heat. The beans should simmer. When the mixture starts to thicken, they are done. Turn off heat, squeeze 1/2 lime and mix in. Serve with cilantro!
