Instructions
1. Get the Beans Ready
If you’re using dry beans, it’s best to soak them in water all night. Prepare them for cooking by rinsing and draining.
Drain and rinse the beans if they are in a can.
Step 2: Saute the Lettuce
Warm the olive oil in a big saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion for three to four minutes, or until it becomes translucent. After one more minute, when the garlic is beginning to smell, add the minced garlic.
Third, stir in the pepper and seasonings.
Cook, stirring occasionally, for a further three to four minutes, or until the diced bell pepper begins to soften. Toss in the chili powder, ground cumin, and smoked paprika, and toast the spices for one more minute.
Step 4: Throw in the Beans and Onions
Toss in the chopped tomatoes and beans, either fresh or canned, after soaking and draining. Mix everything together by stirring.
