Cool Beans
6 steps
Prep:1min
Canned beans. Nutritious, healthful, expedient, simple, inexpensive, low carbon footprint, customizable upon consumption with preferred spices/seasonings. A meal in a (recyclable) can. Expedient and healthful.
My personal favorite canned bean varieties for this are garbanzos, black, and black eyed peas (they're actually beans). For my taste, commercial taco seasoning blends works great on this nutrition source.
A possible positive factor for many individuals is that the primary ingredient is a staple at most food banks (and for good reasons). It is difficult to beat Whisk's health score on this "recipe".
