Recipe ideas for beans: they're great in any Mexican style dish - fat free refired beans or canned black beans - add them to a nacho, burrito, quesadilla, etc.
Add them to salads - I love garbanzo beans in mine!
Mix them with some rice for a great dose of protein in a vegetarian favorite!
Add them to soups - beans aren't just for chili - they're great in other soups, too!

Beans are a great alternative to meat in most dishes. The best part being they are packed with protein, fiber, and folic acid. Help you heart and your waistline : ) Add some beans to your menu this week!
