One hour into the simmer, begin to check the water level every 20 minutes - if you need to add more to cover the beans, do so. Begin checking mixture about 1 1/2 hours through the simmer. Beans should be soft.
When the beans are getting close to finished, heat a sauté pan over medium-high heat, when the pan is hot, add the olive oil, and garlic. As soon as the garlic begins to turn gold, add the onion, pepper, celery and tomato. Sauté the vegetable until the onions are translucent and add to the beans. Season with salt and pepper.
Just before serving, Stir in the cilantro. Serve with sour cream and shredded cheese. This recipe serves six.
