To soak the beans, combine them with 5 cups water in a large container and let sit at room temperature for 8 to 24 hours; drain and rinse the soaked beans before using. For a quick soak, cover the beans by 1 inch of water in a large saucepan, bring to a boil, and cook for 2 minutes; remove from the heat, cover, and let sit for 1 hour. Serve with rice, sour cream, chopped cilantro, sliced scallions, lime wedges, and hot sauce.
