A list of 10 recipes to make with beans. No matter which variety you prefer, beans are versatile and a great ingredient in soups, salads, stews, salsas, tacos and many dishes.

Colombians love beans especially in the Andean region where I am from, where they are served as a main dish or a side dish. Growing up my mom always had a bean dish on the table for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

I love cooking beans, because they are a wonderful source of fiber and protein, and very inexpensive and versatile.
