Caliente Frijoles Negros

It can be difficult to eat a healthy amount of protein when you are on a Vegan diet. Although meat is the main source of protein in many North Americans diets, there are loads of other sources. Nuts, seeds, beans, and lentils are just a few of the tasty foods that contain high amounts of protein. For a nutritious dish with enough kick to get your booty moving, try Caliente Frijoles Negros. This is a spicy black bean dish made with New Mexico Green Chile. I haven't found a Toronto source, let alone any one who knows what green chile is, so I have my lovely family send me private shipments. If you don't have a source, I suggest you get one (or come over to my place and I'll share :)). Green chile is loaded with Vitamin C and metabolism boosting spice. Caliente Frijoles Negros can be served as a side dish with veggies, guacamole and salsa, or by themselves for a quick hearty meal. These spicy little beans that are packed with vitamins, fiber, and protein. Enjoy Hot Mamas (and Papis)!
