Southwest Side Dish

Description

This tasty combo goes together quickly. Vary the veges depending on what you have and what you like. Goes well with grilled chicken or beef. Is hearty enough to work as a vegetarian main course. (It's important to drain and rinse the black beans well, or the finished dish can get an unattractive, sticky consistency)

Cooking Time

Preparation Time :15 Min

Cook Time : 10 Min

Total Time : 25 Min

Ingredients

Serves : 4
  • 1⁄2 onion


  • 1⁄2 red bell pepper


  • 3⁄4 green beans


  • 1 zucchini


  • 3⁄4 frozen corn


  • 3⁄4 canned black beans


  • 2 olive oil


  • 1⁄2 vinegar


  • 1⁄4 chili powder


  • salt and pepper


  • 2 cilantro

Directions

  • Prep all veges.
  • Heat oil in large skillet on medium high heat. Saute onions, red bell pepper, and green beans 5 minutes. Add zucchini, saute 3-5 minutes. Add corn and black beans and heat through. Timing can vary a bit with size of veggie pieces - the goal is to have them crisp tender with perhaps an occasional blackened spot.
  • Season with vinegar, chili powder, salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with cilantro and stir to combine. Serve at once.
