Rice and beans are a magic combination because together they create a complete protein. Beans alone and rice alone both lack certain essential amino acids. But when eaten together each contributes what the other is missing to form a complete protein.
Ingredients:
1 cup rice (I used organic basmati rice)
black beans - we like to use Fillo’s Cuban black bean mix or a box/can of black beans works fine
juice from 1-2 limes
salt to taste
Directions:
Cook the rice according to the package. After the rice is cooked add in a package of Fillo’s Cuban black beans or a box/can of black beans (rinse and drain). Add in salt, cumin, and juice from 1-2 lime. *Adding some chopped cilantro after it cools down will kick it up a notch.
