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:
Mexican Beans and Rice

- 2-3 Tbs. olive oil
- 1 onion chopped

- 3 cups brown or white rice cooked
- cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions
- Cook onion and garlic in oil in a large skillet until onion is soft.
