Easy, healthy recipes with a southwestern flare

This version of Red Beans and Rice uses tasso instead of andouille for a spicy, meaty, and hearty dish. Tasso is a highly seasoned pork from Louisiana that is similar to New Mexico’s carne adovada, both with spicy seasonings, but tasso is smoked rather than braised.
