Spicy Black Beans and Rice

Made on Thursday, May 11th. Good, and filling. I am on Flex this week, but this could easily be made Core simply by using brown rice instead of white.

2 15-oz cans black beans
one medium onion, chopped
chipotle chili pepper, ground
dried parsley
cumin
French's chili-lime hot sauce
lettuce
your favorite salsa
3 cups white or brown rice

Cook the rice according to package directions. Meanwhile, open and drain the beans. Place them in a pot. You may wish to add a 1/4 cup water. Season the beans with 1 tablespoon cumin, 1 tablespoon parsley, 3 splashes of the hot sauce, and chipotle chili pepper to taste (I used about a tablespoon and a half). Heat thoroughly.

When the rice is done, put 1/2 cup of rice in a bowl. Top with 1/4 cup black beans, onion, a dollop of the salsa, and a handful of lettuce. This is a serving.

Each serving has 3 points and one veg.
