Ingredients

• Servings: 5

• 1 (16 ounce) can black beans
• 1 (16 ounce) can stewed tomatoes (chopped)

Recipe

• 1 fry meat until just done.
• 2 drain off excess oil.
• 3 rinse with hot water.
• 4 (sounds gross, i know, but if you're watching fat, this is an excellent way to get it out of there and you don't notice a difference in flavor!) return meat to pan and add remaining ingredients.
• 5 cover and simmer on low for 1 hour.
• 6 (i actually found that simmering for about 50 minutes worked well. it thickened it up just great).
• 7 estimated points for weight watchers is 2 points for a 1 cup serving. ***edited after first review*** you know, this is just what the recipe said. i have no clue what points are. i did ww back before the fiber cap. maybe that's where these low points come from. as the reviewer states -- best to check it yourself! :).
• 8 (always double check your own points!) i took warmed flour tortillas and wrapped this up in them with a plop of sour cream and a bit of grated cheese.
• 9 my daughter took corn chips and used it as a dip.
• 10 it's sooo good!
• 11 you can also add salsa for some extra flavor it you'd like.
• 12 many different things you could do with this recipe!
• 13 i hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
