  • 2
    Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, heat tomatoes to boiling. Stir in pasta, beans, lime peel, cumin and bell pepper. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until hot. Garnish with sour cream, lime and cilantro. Squeeze lime over pasta.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Black beans are loaded with fiber—the soluble kind that helps to lower blood cholesterol. Start slowly so you have time to get used to more fiber.
  • tip 2
    Diced tomatoes with chili spices or garlic and onions can be substituted for the tomatoes with green chilies.
