Introduction
Extremely Easy to make, low fat, good source of protein, good way to eat legumes, freezes well... what else do you want?Can be eaten on its own, with brown rice, in tacos (but the taco shell are not very healthy). I often make a double recipe and whenever I don't know what to prepare for dinner, I unfreeze a portion.
