Place olive oil in a medium sauce pan over medium heat until hot.
Add chopped onions and minced garlic to pan and sauté until tender.
Once tender, stir in black beans, tomatoes, red pepper, cumin and salt and bring to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, reduce heat and let simmer for 15 minutes, uncovered.
Serve over hot brown rice.
Tip: substitute the can of Mexican Style Stewed Tomatoes with a can of plain Stewed Tomatoes, plus 2 tsp. pickled jalapenos or chiles.
