Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned. Once done, remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the onion is translucent.
- Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Add the pinto beans, diced tomatoes (with their juice), cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Cover the skillet and let it simmer for 15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and the dish to heat through.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the dish with the chopped cilantro and serve hot.
Tips
- For a vegetarian version, substitute the sausage with a plant-based alternative.
- For extra heat, add a diced jalapeno pepper with the bell pepper.
