My boyfriend had attempted to get me to try this for years. I was living in the dorms at the time, so compared to the readily available food at Bob’s, beans and rice sounded less than appetizing. Then one day ,when my bank account was nearing $0, I caved. Now, it’s my favorite meal and it’s perfect for those nights when you just want to pig out and watch Netflix.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups dry white rice
• 1 can black beans
• 1 package taco seasoning
• 1 package shredded Mexican-blend cheese
• 1 package sour cream
• 1 jar salsa
• 1 bag tortilla chips
• 4 cups water
• Dash of salt
• 1 tablespoon butter

Directions:

1. Unless you own a rice cooker, bring 4 cups of water to boil on the stovetop
2. Pour two cups of dry rice into the boiling water with the pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon of butter
3. Turn heat to low and put a lid on the saucepan. Let cook for 20 minutes
4. While the rice is cooking, put the can of black beans into a saucepan on medium heat and stir in taco seasoning
5. Once the white rice is done cooking, scoop some into bowl and put black beans on top
6. Add as much salsa, sour cream and cheese as desired. Crunch up some tortilla chips and place on top
7. Mix all of the ingredients in the bowl. Use a fork and enjoy
