I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving, and didn’t get too stressed out over Black Friday shopping. I am totally enjoying my 4 day weekend! We went to my mother-in-law’s for Thanksgiving, and I ate entirely too much. I did a little shopping on Friday, but in my PJ’s, from home ;)
Today’s recipe is what I basically live on. I eat a variation of this almost every day. It’s really easy, only uses a few ingredients, and can be bulked up with salsa and guacamole. Hope you enjoy!
Tex-Mex Rice and Beans
Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 1 can (15oz) vegetarian refried beans
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- juice of 1 lime
- 1 cup tomatoes, diced
- 2 cups frozen corn, thawed
- 1 can (2.25oz) sliced black olives
Mix everything together and serve. Easy peasy, right?! Makes 6 servings and here’s the nutritional info:
Tomorrow I’m planning on a 3-5 mile run, depending on how my stomach cooperates.
This looks so good, Laura! A question: do you serve this hot or room temp or..?
Thanks for sharing! :)
I generally eat everything at room temp. Because of the rice in this, I will nuke it for about a minute and then add salsa and guac.
