Tirsa's Salsa

1 can Rotel
1 can diced tomatoes
1 tsp sugar
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 garlic clove
1/2 bunch (3-4 stalks) green onion, chopped
cilantro (to cover palm of hand or to taste)

Put all ingredients in blender to chop.  Refrigerate up to 3 weeks.

Easy Black Beans

1/2 Tbsp olive oil
2/3 cup diced onion
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
2/3 cup chicken broth
2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp ancho chile pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Heat oil in large sauce pan.  Saute onions for about 3 to 5 minutes until tender.  Add garlic and saute for 30 seconds more.  Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat the low and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes.  Mash some of the beans to thicken the sauce.
