2 1/4 cups uncooked brown rice -- Uncle Ben's Instant variety unless
you have some already cooked.
15 ounce can of black beans, -- drained
(or equivalent of homemade)
1/4 cup cheddar cheese, Lowfat (reduced fat) -- shredded

Cook rice according to directions and heat the beans up. By the
time the beans have heated through, the rice will be done. This
meal takes 3 minutes to make.

Melissa says: Divvy up and serve, top with cheese, salsa, and low fat sour cream. If you're really gonna get crazy, give 'em a warm
tortilla with it...talk about living la Vida loca...

Melissa Writes: While beans and rice may not be the most exciting, thrilling recipe on the block… it wins hands down over a Big Mac or other nutritional nightmare, any day of the week. The addition of cheese, salsa and sour cream make it an often asked for meal in our house.
