Top tips
- Beans: For this dish you can use red kidney beans, pink beans, black beans, or pinto beans. Red kidney beans are my favorite.
- Other ingredients: You can get really creative with this dish. This recipe is just the basic base, so pick one or more of these other choices.
Diced pineapple (about ½ cup), tuna (a can of tuna), diced leftover rotisserie chicken (1 cup), mix with shredded lettuce (as much as you want). - Lime substitute: If you don't have lime juice, you can lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to taste.
- Olive oil: Sometimes I add a drizzle of the extra virgin olive oil for extra creaminess and healthy fat.
