Beans and Chips

We just tried a spur of the moment combination for snack today, and liked it quite a lot.

1 can Black Beans *, rinsed (or 1 1/2-2 cups cooked with a dash of salt)

1 Tbs Olive Oil

2 tsp Parsley **

Corn Chips

Heat the beans in microwave until warm, then stir in the oil and parsley (or add before heating if you wish). Scoop and eat with chips.

Serve with cherry tomatoes, sliced peppers, carrot sticks, cucumber slices, pickles, or whatever else sounds good and is on hand.

*You can use any type of bean. It doesn't have to be black. My kids also like Great Northern, Kidney, Small Red, and Chickpeas.

** Other spice options could be Italian, Basil, Oregano, Rosemary, Thyme, Dill, whatever suits your fancy.
