Ingredients

    Bush's Pinto Beans, 1 can
    Jalapeno Peppers, .5 pepper
    Onions, raw, .5 cup, chopped
    Mushrooms, fresh, 1 cup, pieces or slices
    Salt, 1 tsp
    Pepper, black, 1 dash
    Salsa, 1 cup
    Chicken stock, home-prepared, 1 cup
    Garlic, 2 cloves
    Lime Juice, 1 lime yields
    Cilantro, raw, 2 tbsp
    Olive Oil, 1 tbsp

Tips

For extra crunch you can add some broken up tortilla chips in your bowl. I will also swirl in a tablespoon of plain non-fat yogurt to make it creamy and keep the heat in check.


Directions

In a 2 quart saucepan put the olive oil on medium heat. Then add jalapeno and onions, sweat until translucent (approx. 2 mins). Next, add the mushrooms and cook for and additional 2 minutes. Add garlic cook for 1 minute. Then add beans, salsa, salt and pepper. Add enough chicken stock to get to the desired consistency. I like mine chunky and rustic. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes. Dish into bowls and add the lime and cilantro at the table.
