There are 3 quickish bean recipes that I make. There's a range of effort levels for each.
Chana Masala. Start a pot of rice. Maybe add bullion. Sautee onions, throw in garlic, sprinkle in curry powder. Strain and add a can of chickpeas. Add any can of tomatoes (fire roasted, w/ green chiles, plain). Maybe a little can of diced chiles. More curry powder. Low heat until the rice is ready. Serve the goop over rice. Or mix them.
Lentil soup. Sautee onions. Add garlic. Add broth and bullion. Add carrots, celery, tomatoes, maybe bits of potato, and some spices (I do a random Penzey's blend, smoked paprika, bay leaves) and boil it. Add lentils. Simmer until it's right.
Bean tacos. Heat some corn tortillas, either foil wrapped in the oven or fried until they're crispy. Sautee some onions and peppers (bell, poblano, jalapeno, fresno, idk). Strain and add a can of pinto or black beans. Smash those up a bit. Maybe add tomatoes. Add taco or adobo seasoning and some MSG. Maybe some cubed up leftover chicken. Goop some of that into each tortilla. I like to have pickled red onions in the fridge to add. For sauce, I usually have plain Greek yogurt, so in a bowl, mix yogurt, salsa, hot sauce.
