Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) canola oil

  • 1 bell pepper, any colour, diced
  • 2 cups (500 mL) cooked or canned pinto beans, drained & rinsed

Directions

Great recipe! Looking for something different with protein and fiber and a little pizzazz- this is it. Made in iron skillet and baked in 350 oven for 15 minutes until just set. 5 stars
