Description
Baked potatoes topped with a flavorful mixture of spicy beans and cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium baking potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Rub the potatoes with olive oil and prick them several times with a fork. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until tender.
- While potatoes bake, heat a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
- Stir in the black beans, kidney beans, vegetable broth, chili powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has slightly reduced.
- Slice the baked potatoes open lengthwise. Fluff the inside with a fork.
- Spoon the spicy bean mixture over the potatoes.
- Top each potato with shredded cheddar cheese and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add 1/4 cup of diced green bell pepper with the onion.
- If you prefer a thicker bean mixture, cook it down for a few extra minutes.
