Why it earns a spot in the rotation
- High fiber, from beans. Pinto beans put this meal at 17 g of fiber — more than half a typical day's target in one dinner.
- Protein-forward. 42 g of protein from a lean cut, with beans adding more on top.
- One pot, reheats well. Chili holds up for leftovers better than most dinners in the rotation.
- Potassium and vitamin C. The pepper, onion and tomato base carries real micronutrient weight, not just bulk.
