About Chilli beans

Chilli beans are a flavorful and protein-packed dish rooted in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine. Typically made with red kidney beans or pinto beans simmered in a rich, spiced tomato-based chili sauce, they often include ingredients like onions, garlic, chili peppers, and a blend of spices such as cumin and paprika. High in fiber and plant-based protein, chilli beans support digestion and are a great option for vegetarians and vegans. They are also rich in antioxidants from the beans and tomatoes, promoting heart health. However, they can be high in sodium if canned beans and premade chili sauces are used, so choosing low-sodium varieties or cooking from scratch is recommended. Often served alone, as a topping, or alongside rice or cornbread, chilli beans are a versatile and nutritious staple in many diets, combining bold flavor with beneficial nutrients.
