Pour in kidney beans along with 1 cup of water and bring to a simmer.
Add salt, pepper, and cumin.
Simmer for 10 minutes on low.
Add cilantro and cook until the dish thickens about another 5-10 minutes The sauce should coat the back of the spoon.
You can crush the beans with a potato masher after step 5 if you don't like them whole. I puree in the blender before adding to the saucepan for my children because they don't like it chunky.
