15-Minute Chili Bean Stew

Cook time: 15 mins
Yield: 4 as a topping

Description

Serve over Simple Baked Sweet Potatoes, a Pot of Rice, or on a bed cooked quinoa or other cooked grains.
Serve with your choice of the following toppings: remaining sliced scallion greens and extra chopped cilantro, roasted pepitas, plain plant-based or whole-milk dairy yogurt, salsa or salsa verde, hot sauce.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 scallions, sliced, white and green parts divided
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1 teaspoon each: smoked paprika and oregano
  • 2 cans (15 to 16 oz each) black beans, undrained
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) petite-diced tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  • Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add scallion whites; sauté until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add seasonings; cook until fragrant, a minute or so. Add black beans and tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid thickens to stew consistency (beans will just start to stick to pan bottom), 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in cilantro and serve.
