Mimi’s Black Beans and Poppers

Black Beans

A staple food in Latin American cuisine, particularly in Mexico, Cuba, and the Caribbean. They are believed to have been domesticated in Peru more than 8,000 years ago, and were eventually introduced to other parts of the world by Spanish explorers. Black beans are commonly used in a variety of dishes such as stews, soups, salads, and enchiladas. Chili poppers, on the other hand, are a relatively modern invention and are not associated with any specific culture or region. They are typically made with jalapeño peppers that have been stuffed with cheese, then breaded and deep-fried or baked.

Chili Poppers

Chili poppers are often served as an appetizer or snack, and have become popular in many parts of the world, including the United States where they are often found in Mexican cuisine. As for the combination of black beans and chili poppers, it’s possible that it is a fusion dish created by combining elements of Latin American and Mexican cuisine, but I’m not aware of any specific origin or history behind it.
