Savorychili beans are easy to make on your own! Serve with salsa, tortilla chips and guacamole for a quick appetizer.
Canned chili beans often have lard or bacon. Beans are a great source of plant protein and don’t need fat to be good. Onions, peppers, tomatoes or even squash can add moisture without the oil.
Enjoy these with any of my Mexican style dishes.

Best Mexican beans
It occurred to me that I make these beans all the time whether I use pinto or black beans. I often use dried beans but this recipe calls for canned. Anyway, they are spicy and tasty. I bake these for 30 minutes but they would warm in 5 minutes and be just fine if time is a concern.
