Recipe #1: Pinto Beans

I can confidently say this will be one of the easier recipes I post, but it is one that I eat almost every day.

Pinto beans are definitely a great addition to any diet, some of the specifics can be seen here Web MD: Beans. They are high in protein and have no fat and are a great meat substitute.

Anyways, here is my go-to bean dish:
Ingredients: 1 can of pinto beans, 1 large tbsp. Mrs. Campbell's Chow Chow (available in pickle section of grocery stores), 1 tbsp. Sriracha Chile sauce

1. Put beans in a soup bowl, cover with a paper towel, and place in the microwave.
2. Cook on medium power for about 2 1/2 minutes (Atleast in my microwave but it is pretty powerful)
3. Pull bowl out, add chow chow and chile sauce.
4. Stir and eat.

This dish is about 300 calories and can fill in the space of an entire meal. It has a good mixture of sweetness, saltiness, and spiciness. You can certainly adjust the amounts of any of the ingredients or add your own. This is meant to by a starting point for ideas for healthy meals that can be tailored to your diet.
