Favorite – Fast – Easy – Rice, Beans & Salsa Dinner

I’d love to help you simplify your meal planning. Check out my new menu planning course here.

This dinner seems to fall on the menu plan almost every week.  Sometimes planned, sometimes unplanned but it is a favorite because everyone can personalize it to their taste buds.

I always have beans in the freezer ready to go and my rice cooker is one of my favorite kitchen tools.  It is not a necessity but it does make cooking rice as easy as pressing a button and walking away.

Rice, Beans and Salsa Bowls

Main Ingredients: 
Cooked beans – (you can use canned, we usually grab some from the freezer and heat them up. Black beans are usually our pick here.)
Rice – (we are brown rice lovers here)
Salsa

Toppings:
Cheese
Sour Cream
Peppers – (my boys are hot pepper lovers)
Guacamole – (I cut it fresh in chunks on top)
Tortillas – (we just eat them on the side)
Tortilla Chips
Extra Salsa for chips
Favorite hot sauce to spice it up 🙂

We just layer rice, beans, and salsa in individual bowls and add whatever toppings of our choosing.

Enjoy!!

 

What would you add to this?  Do you have a favorite emergency dinner for your family?

    I have a very similar go to recipe for this however I like the fact that it’s a meatless option. We call ours ooey gooey mexican chicken. Thanks for sharing!

    That actually sounds really good! I just cooked a pot of kidney beans because I’m planning on making chili tonight. But I’ll have to keep some of them aside for a meal like this next week! Thanks! 🙂
