Two for One Dinners: Beans
If you find leftovers boring, uninviting or downright "yuck," then here are some ideas to put the "zing" back into mealtime. With a little creativity your home-cooked meal can easily become a delicious meal another night. There are a six articles in this series, today we are going to look at what you can do with beans.
DINNER - NIGHT ONE: Vegetarian Chili
It is so easy to make a simple chili from onions, carrots, red bell pepper, chopped mushrooms and frozen corn. Throw in canned black beans and canned chopped tomatoes to complete the dish. You can use the flavored canned chopped tomatoes to add more zing. If you want to add meat to your chili, instead of the vegan option presented here, cube and sear beef and add to the mixture. Store the leftover chili in the refrigerator.
DINNER - NIGHT TWO: Black Bean Burritos
Using the leftover chili, add cooked, cubed chicken or beef (if not already in the chili) and put into a wrap of a flour tortilla with shredded cheese, salsa, sour cream and guacamole. You can use flavored wraps which are great. You can also add other ingredients in your wrap such as shredded lettuce, tomatoes, olives or your other favorites. For a nonfat alternative you could substitute sour cream with plain yogurt or even nonfat ranch dressing.
