Bonus: Cut Fat, Boost Fibre Cooking the beef first and draining off fat reduces fat content. Kidney beans add a boost to the dinner's fibre, iron and protein without the fat of traditional refried beans.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz (375g) lean ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 can (19 oz/540 mL) red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1-3/4 cups mild salsa
