Spanish Rice with Beans

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups of dry rice
3 cloves of garlic (finely chopped)
2 cups of chicken/veggie broth
1/2 a bottle of salsa (1 cup)
1 cans of beans, drained + rinsed (black/kidney/medley - use your favourite beans)
Fresh Cilantro (chopped, about 1/2 cup)

Directions:

Heat the oil in a large sauce pan over medium heat.

Add in the onion and saute until soft (about 1-2 min).

Add in the rice, mix with the onion and cook for about 5 minutes or until the rice gets a golden color.

Add in the garlic and saute for one more minute.

Pour in the broth and salsa on the rice (try to not add it directly onto the hot pan), add the beans and stir it up. Bring to a boil.

Turn the heat to low and cover, rice should simmer for about 25 minutes.

Mix well, add fresh cilantro and serve.

You can also wrap it up in a tortilla and add some grated cheese, low fat yogurt and lettuce for a delicious veggie taco/burrito.
