Smoky Black Bean Stew

Here's another recipe from Runner's World.

A single cup of black beans packs 15 grams of fiber, plus an equal amount of muscle-building protein. Natural high-fiber foods help promote fullness. That can help reduce caloric intake at meals and curb cravings throughout the day. Recent research hows that the compound that gives hot peppers their fiery kick may also boost calorie-burning and temper appetite, helping lower your calorie intake.

Heat 2 teaspoons canola oil in a pot. Cook 1 diced onion and 1 sliced carrot for 5 minutes. Add two 15-oz cans drained black beans, one 28-oz can diced tomatoes, 1-1/2 cups vegetable broth, 1 cup sliced roasted red pepper, 1 tablespoon minced canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, 1 teaspoon cumin, and salt and pepper. Simmer 20 minutes. Stir in zest of 1 orange and 1 tablespoon fresh thyme. Serve with diced avocado.
