Using Beans?
I would like to add more black beans to our meals but I have picky eaters:rolleyes:
Any good recipes that have them in there, but maybe "hidden?" |

Not so much hidden, but here is what I do with black beans:
Tacos - half turkey meat and half beans. Rice bowls - I use rice (either brown, cilantro, basmati or mexican, whatever I have on hand) and mix in shredded chicken or ground turkey, black beans, corn and bell peppers. Chicken and black bean quesadillas - shredded cheese, shredded chicken and black beans in a tortilla. Black bean burgers - I use the Pioneer Woman's recipe. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/r...an-burger.html Breakfast burritos or bowls - scrambled eggs, black beans, bell peppers, onion and sometimes sausage or ham if I have it on hand. For snack we will have black beans and bell pepper slices, black beans and tortilla chips and sometimes black beans with cut up tortilla shells. |

I serve beans ALL the time. All different kinds, they especially love garbanzo beans as finger food.
I put them in taco meat, cooked/ crushed for my picky eater, and obviously in the meat or just plain for my non picky eaters. :D |
Budget bytes is filled with lots of bean recipes. It even breaksaid down the cost per serving. Love that site.

Ground up and mixed with seasonings like falafel.

Thanks for posting this. I also have the same question.

I've been able to add them to my menu by adding a spread of refried beans to cheese quesadillas and by making a cold corn/bean/bell pepper salad. I'm intending to take a risk on the next menu cycle and add whole black beans to their quesadillas instead of the refried. I did try to make a bean dip for veggies with cannellini beans - they did not like it. Heck, I didn't like it. (Had lemon and was too tart.) I'll try another recipe again some time. I also made a white bean soup that went over ok and may or may not make that again. While the kids didn't eat much of it, the teachers liked it.:Sunny:
