Vegan Black Bean and Bell Pepper Skillet

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the diced yellow onion and sliced red and green bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften and caramelize at the edges.

Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the rinsed and drained black beans to the skillet along with 2 tablespoons of water to help distribute the spices. Stir well and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until the beans are heated through and the flavors meld together.

Remove the skillet from the heat, garnish with fresh chopped cilantro, and serve immediately with fresh lime wedges on the side.
