BeansSince beans are an excellent source of protein and incredibly filling, you’ll find an abundance of them in Southwestern-inspired dishes.
ChileOf course, what sets Southwestern food apart from other Southern cuisine is its spice. We like our dishes to have a whole lot of flavor and even a little kick to them. Long a part of Southwestern cuisine, chiles are often the spice of choice.
