This recipe was given to me by a friend a long time ago. What more can you ask for from a recipe? It’s yummy, healthy, cheap and fast. It’s vegetarian and can even be vegan if you forgo the cheese and sour cream garnishes.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Ingredients
- 2-3 Tbs. olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 Tbs. chili powder
- 1 tsp. cumin
- 2 cans dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup salsa
- 3 cups brown or white rice, cooked
- cheddar cheese, shredded
- sour cream, if desired
Instructions
- Cook onion and garlic in oil in a large skillet until onion is soft.
- Add spices, beans and salsa. Cook several more minutes until it's all hot.
- Serve beans over rice. Top with cheese and sour cream, if desired.

do you drain the red beans or use the liquid too?

I had the same question…Made it last night and drained the beans. It seemed too thick so I added a cup of water and it was perfect! Oh, and I added some jalapenos I chopped from a jar of sliced jalapenos. MMMMMMM!!!
This finally made it on my meal plan! This is what’s for dinner at my house tonight. Super simple and I am sure it will be delish… as always.
Here is my meal plan for more ideas:

just stopping by to say we love this!
could you use black beans instead and have it still taste good?
I think black beans would be really good. Happy cooking!
