Prep carrots and peppers
Grate the carrots. Halve the peppers, remove seeds and slice into thin strips.
Chop the tomatoes
Peel and chop the tomatoes into bite-size pieces and set aside.

Finish with tomatoes
Spread chopped tomatoes over the beans, cover and cook until the tomatoes release their juices and soften.
