Meredith's Awesome Broiled Beans

My roommate Meredith came across this wonderful recipe for beans when she was on a mission trip in New Zealand. It has become one of the staple recipes in our house, and popular at our dinner parties also. This is great for a last minute healthy dish and a wonderful choice for potlucks as well.

Ingredients:

3 cans beans, rinsed and drained (garbanzos, black beans, kidney beans, cannellini, etc.)
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can corn
1/4 c. olive oil
1/4 c. pesto
1 tbsp. chipotle chili powder

Optional:
1 sliced avocado
wheat tortillas
sour cream

Spread first three ingredients on a cookie sheet and season with salt and pepper. Put under the broiler for about 20 minutes, or until the beans begin to slightly crack.

Meanwhile, mix olive oil, pesto and chili powder in a large bowl. After beans have broiled, mix altogether.

For an optional twist, serve in a flame-charred tortilla, with slices of avocado and arugula, topped with a dollop of sour cream.
