Ingredients

  • Fresh cilantro (1/4 cup, chopped)
  • Salt (1 teaspoon)
  • Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Chili powder (1 teaspoon)
  • Cumin (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Diced tomatoes (1 can (14.5 ounces))
  • Pinto beans (1 can (15 ounces), drained and rinsed)
  • Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
  • Bell pepper (1, diced)
  • Onion (1, diced)
  • Sausage (1 pound, sliced)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. In the same skillet, add the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the onion is translucent.
