If you find leftovers boring, uninviting or
downright "yuck," then here are some ideas to put the "zing" back into
mealtime. With a little creativity your home-cooked meal can easily
become a delicious meal another night. There are a six articles in
this series, today we are going to look at what you can do with beans.
DINNER - NIGHT ONE: Vegetarian Chili
It is so easy to make a simple chili from onions,
carrots, red bell pepper, chopped mushrooms and frozen corn. Throw in
canned black beans and canned chopped tomatoes to complete the dish.
You can use the flavored canned chopped tomatoes to add more zing. If
you want to add meat to your chili, instead of the vegan option
presented here, cube and sear beef and add to the mixture. Store the
leftover chili in the refrigerator.
DINNER - NIGHT TWO: Black Bean Burritos
Using the leftover chili, add cooked, cubed chicken
or beef (if not already in the chili) and put into a wrap of a flour
tortilla with shredded cheese, salsa, sour cream and guacamole.
