Healthy and Tasty High Protein and Fiber Dish

Here is a great recipe for a healthy, tasty, high protein, and high fiber dish. A great meal if you are trying to lose weight, because the fiber will make you feel full and the protein provides a ton on enzymes and nutrients your body needs. When your body gets what it needs nutritionally, cravings for bad food often come to an end. This is an easy recipe and the main ingredient is black beans which is cost effective as well. Bon Appetit!

This dish is Mexican Black Beans and Brown Rice (Chicken is optional)



Saute one medium onion, chopped, with 1 or 2 cloves garlic, chopped
Add to pan 1 cup chopped fresh tomatoes
salt and pepper to taste, add a little spice of your choosing - oregano, thyme, rosemary are all good.
Add to pan 1 can black beans or pinto beans
simmer.
Meanwhile,  you have made your brown rice according to your recipe.
And meanwhile, in another pan saute 1 pound chicken breast, deboned and skinless, in smallish pieces.
Reserve part of the beans and rice for vegetarians, and add the chicken to the other portion.
Serve with a little salsa if desired.
