Mexican Rice & Beans

This is a staple we eat nearly every week for our Tex-Mex night.  It's pretty healthy since we are adding lots of beans for the fiber.

Mexican Rice & Beans
1 cup water
1 teaspoon tomato chicken boullion
1/2 cup rice
1 cup black beans (either precooked or canned)
1/2 cup diced tomatoes and chiles (like Rotel) drained
pinch of salt
shredded Cheddar cheese

Bring water and boullion to a boil, add rice, stir, cover with lid and reduce heat to low, simmer for 15-20 minutes. 

Add beans and tomatoes and chiles and stir. 

Scoop and serve with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.

(Our regular Tex-Mex Taco Night spread, guacamole, lettuce, tomato, cheese, lime wedges, black olives, salsa, taco meat, shells and of course, the rice and beans)

Yum!
