How to Make

  • Step 1: Heat olive oil and add red pepper flakes. Add onion, red pepper (if using) and garlic and cook until tender. Add chicken, stirring until cooked (or if you use cooked chicken like me, just stir it until heated through.) Lower heat, add oregano and cumin and simmer briefly.

  • Step 2: Add black beans, pimentos, and balsamic vinegar. Blend and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, adding more liquid if necessary.

  • Step 3: Serve chicken and beans over rice or use to fill a tortilla. Sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro or use as a garnish.
