black beans with cilantro & Garlic

Black beans are a fablous side dish to any kind of taco, mexican pizza,quesadilla etc.  Or really a fablous side dish to anything.
This is my own recipe for what the husband says are the BEST beans he has ever had.
It his hard for me to write the specifics of this recipe...I just throw the ingredients in so this is my best guess.  Change it up for your own tastes.

Black beans with cilantro & garlic:
combine all ingredients in a small saute pan, stir and let marinate for about an hour.  Let the beans soak up the juices.

1/2-3/3 can of black beans rinsed and drained.
drizzle with olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons of minced garlic (more if you love garlic)
1 tablespoon of lime juice
1 1/2 tablespoons of cilantro
3 green onions (both green and white parts) chopped
1 1/2 squirts of sriracha Hot chili sauce

After you let it sit for about an hour, saute on low heat for about 10-15 min. until beans are hot and tender.
