Expert Tips

tip 1
Black beans and rice are a natural pair, so try serving this hearty vegetarian chili over a mound of cooked rice, and sprinkle with chopped bell pepper and fresh cilantro for color and flavor. You can also have other chili fixings on hand—chopped onion, salsa, guacamloe--whatever your favorites may be.
