Many recipes call for canned black beans, but it's easy to start them from scratch. Dry beans are
most economical too, and organic beans are often available at health food stores. This recipe starts out thick; for Chili, just add water when heating up, to desired thickness. Top with grated cheese, sour cream, and fresh chopped tomatoes as desired. This mix is versatile; use for burritos, tostadas, and enchiladas. Serves 7-8.

  • 1/2 c. tomato paste
