Black Bean Fajita Skillet

You can often find presliced and ready-to-cook fresh vegetables in your grocer's produce section. Use these to your advantage to cut down on dinnertime prep. Here, presliced fajita vegetables are sautéed with canned black beans and Southwest seasoning for a quick and easy Tex Mex-inspired meal. Plus, this recipe requires just three ingredients, not including basics like salt, pepper and oil. You can easily take your bowl up a notch by adding some cheese, sour cream or another tasty topping.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 (12-ounce) package sliced fajita vegetables (bell peppers and onions)
  • 1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added black beans, rinsed
  • ½ teaspoon salt-free southwest-style seasoning blend
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup coarsely shredded cheddar cheese (1 ounce; optional)

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add fajita vegetables and sauté until tender, about 10 minutes.
  2. Stir in black beans, seasoning and salt; cook, stirring, until heated through, about 1 minute.
  3. Divide the vegetables and beans between two bowls and top each with 2 tablespoons cheese, if using.
