We aren’t huge meat eaters, so one of the ways I like to sneak a lot of protein into our meals is with black beans. This recipe I found several years ago from the Food to Live By cookbook is one of our favorites. If you really wanted to, you could serve this with chips, but we like to eat it on its own, as a main dish for lunch or dinner.

This looks like a recipe I have minus the barley, kidney beans and cilantro. We love it. I like to serve it over food should taste good multigrain chips and top it with cheese, like nachos.
