To prepare a texarkana style chili beans and grains recipe, first you need to prepare the ingredients. First, you'll need the following ingredients: 1 pound (240 g) can kidney beans 1 cup (250 ml) diced tomatoes 1 chopped onion 1 teaspoon (0.5 tsp) paprika 1 tablespoon (2.5 sprigs) dried oregano, thyme, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and chile flakes. Cook the beans over medium-high heat until they're tender, about 5 minutes. Then, add the remaining ingredients and cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by half. Add salt and pepper to taste.
