Most recipes that I use have been copied from others, or are recipes that friends and family have shared with me. This one is MINE! Super easy and healthy. I serve it with chicken or grilled fish.
1 c. rice, uncooked
2 c. water
1 tsp. kosher salt
Place rice, water and salt into a pan. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low. Cook 18-20 minutes until all of the water has evaporated. Fluff rice with a fork.
1/3 c. chopped onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 T. olive oil
1 15.5 oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 small can mild green chiles, chopped
cilantro
In a separate pan, saute onion and garlic in oil until onion is clear. Add beans and heat through. Add rice and stir in green chiles.
Right before serving, add fresh chopped cilantro.
Serves 6 (1/2 c. servings)
Flavorful, easy, low fat...enjoy!

That looks so yummy! Although I have a problem making rice, I CAN'T! But I think I will try it anyway!
sounds like comfort food to me! I love beans and rice!!!
This sounds very tasty. We love black beans at our house. Come join me for Crock Pot Wednesday whenever you can.
Your black beans and rice recipe looks good. I have a recipe for making black bean from scratch at http://desigrub.com/2010/03/glorious-black-beans/. It's without any seasoning though. I would love to hear any comments.
Hi there! I live in Brazil and here we eat rice EVERY DAY! We are crazy about it. You could spice it up this way, which we call fried rice:
1 c. rice, uncooked
2 c. water
1 tsp. salt
1/3 c. chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 T. olive oil
Saute onion and garlic in oil until onion is clear. Add rice, fry it a little, then add water.
Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low. Cook 18-20 minutes until all of the water has evaporated. Fluff rice with a fork.
We always use onions and garlic when cooking rice.
Hugs from Brazil.
