Ingredients

The ingredients are:

  • 1 (4 ounce) can green chilies
  • 3 tablespoons medium heat salsa (don't use a chunky salsa; also if you aren't a spice fan, use a mild salsa)

How to Make

  • Step 1: Vegetables -- In a large saute pan, add the olive oil and saute the onion and garlic on medium heat for 4-5 minutes. You want them to sweat, not brown.

  • Step 2: Add the rest of the ingredients, except the broth and stir well to combine. Continue on medium low heat.

  • Step 3: Simmer ... Add a little of the broth and continue cook on medium low heat. Take a fork and mash/smash up some of the beans as they simmer. Check for any additional seasoning. Add a little more broth if the beans get too dry. They can stay on the stove up to 30 minutes.

  • Step 4: Serve ... Right before serving, add in the cilantro, mix, and transfer to a serving bowl. ENJOY!
