Tex-Mex Skillet

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.
