This recipe looks really good, and is a great way to switch up a regular baked potato. You could make a few different toppings to offer your family, either two different types of beans, or different levels of spice - just add chili flakes or chopped jalapeno. The beans add protein to this meal, making it healthy and filling! This would go great with grilled corn on the cob or grilled veggie burgers!
