Rice and Black Beans

This rice and black beans dish is simple, flavorful and ready in as little as 20 minutes. If you are like me and always have cooked beans in the freezer and sometimes left over cooked rice, dinner will always be a breeze. There is always premeasure frozen beans in the freezer, ALWAYS. You can definitely use canned beans but it is much more affordable and better to cook your own. You control the salt and I honestly think it taste a lot better than canned beans.

Canned beans will work just fine with this recipe, I recommend you get them with a little salt.

Rice and beans

This is really the meal for a busy mom or dad, or career woman who enjoys some good home cooking , but doesn’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen. The perfect meal prep option for that gym fanatic. Complete protein in one plate. I’m saying no to food waste here. Use that left over rice. Here I’m using basmati rice but you can definitely use brown rice.
