Here's a handy food item to have around the house in case of
emergency: JOAN OF ARC HOT & SPICY KIDNEY BEANS (or something
close to that). They come in cans (one of the few canned anything
I use), and are very easy to use in many quickee ways. Also, they
are really not extremely hot.
Some ways I use them:
TACO SALAD
Heat some of Joan's beans, crumble some taco shells, or nachos
or corn chips, etc. in with them, and garnish with some shredded
lettuce, celery, and black olives -- you may also want to add
some garlic and parsley (or other spices of your choice) to the
beans when you heat them.
TACO
Try them inside a taco shell instead of crumbling it on top.
Add the usual taco garnishes: salsa, lettuce, tomatoes, olives, etc.
TOSTADOS
Heat up your beans again (adding your spices). Also take a whole
wheat tostado shell -- these are called various things in the store,
but whatever they are called, they are flat and about 6 in. round
and usually in the refrigerated, or frozen food section. Heat your
shell according to directions, then add your beans, lettuce, onions,
shredded cheese, olives, etc., and roll up (or eat it flat if you
like to.
ENJOY.......CAM
