With canned beans, tomatoes, onion, and garlic stocked in your pantry, this dish can be prepared on any weeknight—no additional shopping required. While pickled onions are not strictly essential, they are easy to make and add a pleasant tangy counterpoint to the beans. Pickled peppers serve as an excellent substitute.

If you have one or two bell peppers or jalapeños on hand, chop them and sauté alongside the onions. For a more refined touch, grate the lime zest before juicing it for the pickles, then stir the zest into the sour cream.
