Expert Tips

  • Filled with many other important nutrients, beans are an excellent source of fiber.
  • Stir-fry chicken strips not available? Buy the same weight of boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, and cut up the meat yourself.
  • If you'd prefer, pinto beans can be substituted for the black beans.
