- 1/4 cup water
- 2 (16-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained

-
Peel and chop the onion. In a large pan, heat the oil. Add the onion, stir until coated and almost clear.

Add squash. Cook for 5 minutes on medium heat. Add garlic powder, vinegar and water.
-
Cook on low heat until the squash is tender, about 20-25 minutes. Add the beans and oregano. Cook until the beans are heated through.
