How to Make Black Bean Grilled Cheese
  1. Start by mashing your black beans in a bowl, blending in the cumin, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
  2. Spread a generous layer of the black bean mixture on one slice of bread. Top with sharp cheddar cheese, then cover with another slice of bread.
  3. Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Grill each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
  4. Remove the sandwich from the skillet, cut in half, and enjoy warm, optionally pairing with a salad or soup.
