Gluten-Free Mexican beans From Margana

A simple little story goes with this simple yet delicious dish. Margana’s parties always had a spread on the table that caught everyone’s eyes. I soon learned that if you have a few simpler dishes to prepare you can splurge with your time on the decorating. Thanks Margana.
By the way, kids love this dish as well as the men in our lives.

or 20 ounces dried beans (soaked)
1 green pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
