Spanish Rice and Beans image

Using jarred salsa makes this recipe so convenient because I always have salsa on hand. We also love the addition of green olives. It makes a wonderful side dish, but would make a healthy and filling vegetarian main dish as well.

This dish was a little too spicy for my taste, but I'm sure it would be great for people who like spicy food.
