Notes

Feel free to switch up the beans with kidney beans or pinto beans. Experiment with spices like smoked paprika or chipotle for extra warmth, or toss in corn for added sweetness and texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently, adding a splash of broth or water if thickened.
