Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 chopped onion and 3 sliced carrots; cook until softened, about 8 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tsp ground cumin; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  3. Step 3

    Add 1 can diced tomatoes with their juices and 2 cans drained beans. Stir to combine.
