I can’t believe the first day of school is right around the corner! As I suspected, this summer just flew by and now we are in the midst of getting ready to go back to school. With all of the back to school preparation: shopping, school registration, getting the kids to bed at an earlier hour, I am now also thinking about weeknight dinners!

Because my children can’t get enough black beans, I added even more beans plus diced bell peppers and onions. I used chicken stock for an added boost of flavor, but you can also use water! I added fresh avocado, tomatoes and cilantro on top and served this dinner with tortilla chips! My family loved it! I hope you give this recipe a try!

Make-Ahead

Expert busy parent tip: You can prep and cut all of the vegetables the night before and keep them in your refrigerator. Then, when you’re ready to make dinner, everything is prepped and ready to go and dinner will be on the table within 20 minutes! You can’t beat that!
