This is a great side dish for taco night. Use your favorite beans (I used pinto) and either white rice or brown rice.

Okay, what do you do with the other half??
She layers it. Says repeat.
Can you use yellow rice?
I’m not her, but I think yellow rice would be great in this dish!
I’m about to use Spanish Style rice (Uncle Ben’s, with tomatoes and peppers, (1.1 cup) and a cup of white rice mixed together. I think it will be delicious!
