  • If you're not a fan of black beans, kidney beans are a great substitute.
  • Packages of stew meat can have pieces of different sizes. Cut any large pieces into smaller same-size pieces so that everything cooks in the same amount of time.
  • Serve leftovers tucked into taco shells or tortillas for quick-to-fix tacos.
  • Looking for a little kick? Try serving with a seeded, diced jalapeño pepper to pack some extra spice.
  • Try adding your favorite veggies to this dish to enhance the flavor and pack in even more nutrients! Chopped bell peppers, cubed potatoes and zucchini slices are some easy options to experiment with.
