Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Rinse and Drain Beans

    Open cans of black beans, kidney beans, and chickpeas. Pour them into a colander and rinse under cold water to remove excess sodium. Allow them to drain completely.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Dice the red bell pepper and red onion into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves. Chop the fresh cilantro roughly.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until slightly translucent. Then add the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  2. 4

    Add Beans and Seasonings

    Add the rinsed and drained beans to the skillet. Sprinkle in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients and cook for about 5 minutes until heated through.

  3. 5

    Finish and Serve

    Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the lime juice and chopped cilantro. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm as a side dish or over rice for a complete meal.
