But beans and rice do make a complete protein, have less fat and salt and are as cheap or cheaper.
Okay, bean lover, here’s one of our favorite recipes:
1 Can each (juice and all):
White Beans
Black Beans
Pinto Beans
Kidney Beans
Chicken
Diced Tomato with Green Chili
Whole Kernel Corn
Sliced Black Olives
1 package Taco Seasoning
Heat and serve with Corn Bread, Tortilla Chips, or Fritos.
Top with Sour Cream and Shredded Cheddar Cheese.
Of course, you could make the whole thing from scratch instead of canned, if you have the time.
Might as well call it Protein Soup.
