Tex Mex Black Beans Saffron Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare the saffron rice according to the package directions,using the amount of oil/butter and water as indicated on the package (I usually use olive oil).
• While the rice is cooking, rinse& drain the black beans in a mesh strainer to remove all the sludgey canning liquid and dump them into a small saucepan.
• Pour the entire contents of the diced tomatoes w/chili peppers,liquid and all,into the same pan with the beans and stir to combine.
• Cover the saucepan with lid,turn on the heat to low, and let bean mixture heat while the rice cooks, stirring occasionally- it should be ready when the rice is done.
• When the rice is fully cooked, pour it into a deep, medium sized casserole dish.
• Pour bean mixture into the center of the rice, leaving a border of the yellow rice peeking out arounds the sides.
• Place the sour cream in the center of the bean mixture in a dollop as a garnish (you can use more if you like).
• Sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese over the top of the sour cream and over the beans.
• Sprinkle with cilantro leaves (optional) if you like and serve immediately.
• NOTE: If you don't have access to canned diced tomatoes with chilis, then you can substitute an equal amount of chunky salsa, if you like.
• You may wish to provide a bowl of additional sour cream as well as a bowl of more cheese for guests to add extra to each serving, but it isn't necessary.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.

Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and stir. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.
• Remove 1/2 cup of the bean mixture to a bowl using a slotted spoon; mash with a fork, then return to the pot along with the rice and 1/4 cup cilantro. Cook until the soup thickens, about 5 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or wrap in damp paper towels and microwave; wrap in foil to keep warm.
