Chef’s Notes
Use any type of cooked beans in place of the black beans.
For a vegetarian option, use an extra can of drained and rinsed beans in place of the meat.
To increase heat, leave a few seeds from the jalapeño in the salsa. Or, season with an extra pinch of cayenne pepper.
Top with rinsed and chopped tomatoes, green onions, low-fat sour cream, or low-fat plain yogurt, if you like.
