Recipe Tips

To make this recipe more flavorful, you can add some vegetable or chicken broth instead of water. You can also use canned kidney beans or chickpeas instead of black beans. Make sure to rinse the canned beans thoroughly to remove any excess salt. Lastly, you can also add some grated cheese or sour cream on top, but that would increase the calorie count.
