Easy, Fast, Yummy, and doesn't taste like diet food.

1 T Olive Oil
2 Cans Stewed Tomatoes diced
2 -15 oz cans Red Kidney Beans
2 -15 oz cans Chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans)
2 -15 oz cans Pinto Beans
1 T each Chili Powder, Cumin, Cayenne Pepper
1 oz Vinegar

1 serving is 1 1/4 cup. Makes around 6 servings.

Dump it all in a pot and heat it up. We usually add some onion and whatever spices we feel like.

Nutritional break down is
366 - cal
6 grams fat
1 gram sat fat
67 g carbs
18 g fiber
17 g protein

This keeps several days in the fridge and is a great thing to keep on hand for fast easy meals. I've added it to the food database. Hope you like it.

    I use this recipe too but I first stir fry a red onion, spanish onion, garlic and a box of mushrooms then add all the beans and tinned tomatoes and herbs. Keep it in fridge and eat from containers for lunch (just zap it before eating) full of goodness :happy:

    If you're broke, buy dried beans in bulk. Let them soak overnight. Usually dried beans cost the same as canned, but when you soak them they expand 2-3x, so you end up getting much more for your money.
