Tuesdays With Kris: Go-To-Dishes

We all have that one go-to dish that we run to when we are pressed for time or are in need of something nutritious. After my usual weekend of overindulgence I normally crave this dish. And crave and feast I did!

Brown Rice with Savory Sweet Beans

(serves 2 for dinner, and 1 for lunch the entire week- almost)

About 4 cups cooked brown rice.
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 pinches red pepper flakes
1 12oz can black beans, rinsed
1 12oz can tomatoes with chilies
1 12oz can sweet corn
Zest and juice of lime (you can squeeze juice in when serving each plate)
1 cup chopped cilantro
7 chopped scallions
salt and pepper to taste

In a large sauce pan. Heat oil and 2 minced garlic cloves. Add 2 pinches red pepper flakes and let soften. Add in 1 can black beans, 1 can tomatoes with chilies, and 1 can sweet corn. Bring to simmer for about 5-7 minutes. Zest 1 lime into the beans. Take off heat and let cool a bit. Add 1 cup chopped cilantro and 7 chopped scallions. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with rice, sour cream and extra lime wedges. SO TASTY and HEALTHY!
