Black beans are an excellent source of fiber, which can reduce your risk of diseases such as colon cancer, heart disease and diabetes. They are also jam-packed with protein and iron, which are essential to a healthy fitness regimen. Plus, black beans have a low Glycemic Index, which, along with fiber, makes this meal perfect for a weight-loss plan.

To reduce the sodium in this recipe, try substituting low-sodium broth and/or low-sodium canned beans. Or reduce the already-low fat content with low-fat sour cream.
