BLACK BEAN CHILLI

Black beans are really versatile and it’s always a good idea to have a couple of tins in the cupboard. They are great in soups, salads and especially this chilli, which rivals a traditional chilli in taste and flavour. The sour cream garnish is a great contrast to the spicy chilli (guacamole works really well with it too).
