Hey, thanks, Allison. I was looking for something easy to fix this weekend and this fits the bill. Sounds really good!

Sky

: My husband is doing South Beach phase
: 1 (yes, he needs to do RR but he
: won't listen so I don't try
: anymore), so the only browns he
: can have are black beans and
: garbanzo beans. Last night I made
: this easy, yummy dish that is
: South Beach and RR friendly.

: Ingredients
: chopped onion
: minced garlic
: cumin (or you could use chili powder)
: Cooked chicken (you can use raw, if
: so, add to pan when the onions are
: soft and before you add the beans)
: 1 can of black beans
: salsa
: grated cheese
: green chili if you live in New Mexico
: and can get decent green chili

: Saute some onion and minced garlic in
: olive oil. (We use the minced
: garlic packed in oil that comes in
: a jar) When it is getting soft,
: sprinkle some cumin onto it and
: stir it around.
: (add meat now if you are using
: uncooked chicken, and saute until
: cooked)
: Add a drained, rinsed can of black
: beans.
: Add chopped cooked chicken
: Mix in some salsa (and green chili if
: you are adding that)

: When it is all heated nicely,
: sprinkle grated cheese on top.
: Then I put a cover on the pan and
: turn the heat off and serve when
: the cheese is melted.
