I found this recipe that is supposed to be a copycat of El Pollo Loco. I didn't have all the ingredients, so this is an adapted version. The beans are smoky, tangy, and a little sweet. Everyone loved them. I had to keep shooing the kids away from the fridge until it was time for dinner. They still snagged a few bites, though.

In a 12 inch skillet, over medium heat, place fish in chicken broth along with cumin, coriander, chili powder, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper then bring to a boil. Turn off heat, cover, and let rest 5 minutes.
Rinse beans and drain. Place in large saucepan. Add chicken broth and remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Boil for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Reduce heat.
I'm not always fond of beans unless they are either green or baked, but I have also learned now to really love black beans! This recipe is so good and black beans are very healthy as well.
