Total Calories: 255

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup diced onion, fresh or frozen
1 teaspoon minced garlic, fresh or jarred organic
1 (14-ounce) can pinto bean, drained and rinsed
1 (14-ounce) can green enchilada sauce
1/2 red Roasted Peppers, homemade, frozen, or jarred, diced
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 cups boiling water
3/4 cup instant polenta, such as Bellino or Favero
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack-Colby cheese

Directions:

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic, beans, enchilada sauce, and red pepper. Heat until simmering, season with salt and pepper, and simmer for 5 minutes.

Bring the water to a vigorous boil in a separate saucepan. Stir in the polenta and simmer until thick, about 3 minutes. Season assertively with salt.

Stir the cilantro into the beans and serve over a bed of polenta top with the cheese.
