Done in 20 minutes on the stovetop; I like to serve this with my Low Carb Mexi Baked Chicken for a complete and festive low carb dinner. Also a tasty, easy side dish to serve with your tacos, fajitas, etc.
Ingredients:
1 small onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 (15 ounce) cans red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup water
2 tablespoons chili powder or 2 tablespoons taco seasoning (i prefer and use taco seasoning, homemade with no sugar)
low-fat mexican cheese blend, for topping
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan, sautee the pepper, onion and garlic in olive oil until crisp-tender.
2. Add beans, water and seasoning; simmer on low to medium heat until thickened (about 10 minutes).
3. Top with cheese upon serving.
