Notes
Commentary:
I love green beans, really love them. And I'm used to steaming them and just putting butter and salt on. So it's time to do something fancier, right? Of course there needs to be a Southwestern Green Beans, duh! What's better than adding garlic, tomatoes, and green chiles? It's a natural. And then the balsamic vinegar adds a nice bit of tang. Yum! And, no, I don't use canned green beans. This is simple, pretty quick, healthy, and really good. And add your own twist! How about some sour cream or oregano? Enjoy!
