Cali Beans and Rice

When it comes to cheap, fast, and easy there is nothing better than rice and beans. I like this recipe because each of the ingredients are a staple in our home. And, if I use last nights leftover rice, I have a meal in minutes. I think you'll enjoy my family's So-Cal adaptation of this American classic.

Ingredients
White rice
Black beans, 1 can
Cheddar cheese, shredded
Salsa (optional)
Cilantro (optional)

Directions

1. Combine rice, beans, and cheese in a bowl. Heat to desired temperature.
2. Add cilantro and salsa if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

1. Walmart Lime and Garlic Salsa is my family's favored brand.
2. If leftover rice is dry, add a bit of water prior to reheating.
