The Essential Ingredients
- Ground Beef: Also called ‘hamburger,’ it’s made by grinding beef cuts and beef trim. It works well in dishes that require crumbles, and typically any leanness of Ground Beef works well in dishes – just be sure to drain any remaining fat after cooking.
- Black Beans: A small, shiny legume with a meaty texture and sweet flavor. These little beans are a good source of fiber and protein and are a great addition to soups, salads, and are a staple in Latin American cuisine.
- Baby Spinach: Picked just at the point of ripeness, baby spinach has small tender leaves with a slightly sweet flavor. Commonly used in salads, smoothies, and sauteing.
- Garlic: A flavorful bulb that is related to the onion family. It has a strong aroma (that fills your kitchen), taste that enhances your dish and is known for its versatility.
- Chili Powder: A warm spice mixture with varying heat levels, made from ground dried chili peppers and garlic, oregano and cumin. It’s commonly used in boldly flavored dishes.
