Good Old Rice 'n Beans

We needed something quick and filling tonight before we went to a play. What did we do? Rice and Beans, of course! It was super yummy and I'm still comfortably full after almost 5 hours. 

Here's what I did:

Cook 1 cup of rice with chicken broth (1c. rice to 2c. water)
Dice up red some red pepper and a whole onion then cook in olive oil
Add two or three garlic cloves, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika and some Worcestershire sauce. 
It didn't look quite right, so I added a can of diced tomatoes with green chilis with the liquid (I got it at Aldi) and some hot red pepper relish. Then I added a can of white beans (Maybe black beans would be better? I just had white and it was great)

After that had cooked up and the rice was done, plated it with the beans and veggies over the rice along with some shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream and a few corn chips! A+
