BEANS AND RICE DINNER
On cold or rainy days, this comforting beans and rice dish really fills the tummy. Sometimes I switch up pinto beans for kidney beans or use white rice instead of brown. Add rolls and a green salad, and it's dinner! -Lorraine Caland, Shuniah, Ontario

MEXICAN TOMATO RICE AND BEANS
This is a good Tex-Mex side dish (or even a main dish) that isn't very spicy, but IS very garlicky. We had this with Recipe #120056. I didn't have quite enough of the fresh herbs so I mixed dried with fresh. From Fine Cooking (April/May 2005)

Steps:
- In a one quart saucepan, combine rice with water.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let the pan stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
- While the rice stands, drain the tomatoes, reserving the juice.
- Add enough water to the juice to equal one cup of liquid.
- Heat a 10-12 inch skillet over medium-high heat; add in oil, garlic, and jalapeno.
- Cook until the garlic is browned and the jalapeno is fragrant (one minute).
- Add the black beans, salt, cumin, and chili powder; stir gently a few times to cook the spices and get beans mixed into the rice (30 seconds).
- Stir in the tomato juice mixture and bring to a boil.
- Adjust the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle boil; cook and occasionally stir until the beans have absorbed much of the liquid (5-7 minutes).
- Add the tomatoes, oregano, cilantro, and cooked rice.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is warmed (1-2 minutes).
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh tomatoes and onion are essential for this recipe, and fresh cilantro will add a pop of brightness.
- Rinse the rice before cooking. This will remove the starch and help the rice cook evenly.
- Cook the rice in a flavorful broth. This will add even more flavor to the rice. Vegetable broth or chicken broth are both good options.
- Don't overcook the rice. Rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.
- Season the rice with salt and pepper to taste. This will help to balance out the flavors of the rice.
- Add the beans and tomatoes to the rice towards the end of cooking. This will help to prevent them from becoming overcooked.
- Serve the rice and beans with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include cheese, avocado, sour cream, and salsa.
Conclusion:
This Mexican tomato rice and beans recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and can be easily customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give this recipe a try.
