Meatless Monday #2: Cilantro Rice & Beans

Second edition of Meatless Monday!

This is a simple, yet delicious one.  I could eat this as an entire meal, but it could also be a side dish or a burrito filling.

Cook 1 cup of brown rice (not white rice!), and cook 1 can of beans (I recommend black, pinto, or kidney beans).  While the rice & beans are cooking, chop up some cilantro.  

When the rice & beans are finished cooking, mix them together, add the cilantro and squeeze in some lime juice (1/2 lime to 1 whole lime, depending on taste).  Add some chili powder or tabasco sauce (to taste).  And that’s it! So easy.

For variations, get creative with additional ingredients.  Try adding chopped tomato, onion, avocado, and/or jalapeno.
