super quick and healthy vegan ranchero-style beans
The ranchero-style beans recipe that I am sharing today came out of whim while watching one of those old western-style movies. Suddenly craving that smokey, sweet, sticky flavor and before I knew it my skillet was already put at work.
This dish is absolutely a good choice from a nutritional point of view. It offers a good source of plant-based protein, vitamins and is very well-balanced when served with some rice or wholemeal tortillas.
The ingredients blend so well and have a such a deep intense taste your palate will be satisfied no matter what movie are you watching 🙂
Is your stomach already rumbling?
