    Loved it with some mexican spices and served in a whole grain tortilla. Simple and healthy. I didn't use the oil. This was super easy and quick as well, which makes this perfect for a weeknight meal. Thanks for posting!

    This was a wonderful bean dish. I used kale since its hard to find collard greens here. I have never had beans in anything other than in burritos or tacos or soups...but I made this as a side dish to go with a beef enchilada casserole. After it was done I sprinkled it with cheese and put it a warm oven until we ate and the cheese was all melted and it was just so good. I didn't add the olive oil since I put in cheese and it didn't hurt it a bit. Wonderful bean dish Barb and very fast to make. Thanks!!!
