Happy Cinco de Mayo!!!


I found this recipe on the Food Network, I altered it just a little to make it a little less spicy... It was great served with warm tortilla chips and a Mojito!

Black and Red Fiesta Beans with Rice

2 c instant brown rice
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
1/2 c salsa
1 1/2 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Oregano
1 tsp Thyme (I used ground thyme)
1/2 t Garlic powder ( I omitted salt and used garlic salt instead)
1 15 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 15 oz can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 11 oz can corn drained
Salt and Pepper to taste


Cook rice - meanwhile combined remaining ingredients and simmer until rice is cooked. Fold in rice. Top with sour cream and scoop up with chips! Yum!

*Side note: I figured the cost per serving to be $.65

That sounds really good. We'll try it and let you know how it works out. One of Jon's favorite quickie meals (BBQ cups) came from you!
