Southwest Black Beans and Rice

Southwest Black Beans and Rice
Steven & Kristen W.
Yield: 6 servings

2 c. rice
*Start the rice cooking, then combine the following ingredients in a pot:

1 can black beans (I like the no salt added kind for this)
1 can petite diced tomatoes (no salt added)
1 can whole kernel corn (no salt added)
1 can green chilies
*You can add cooked ground beef/turkey, or seasoned chicken to this mixture, or go meatless

Season to taste:
Onion powder (1 tsp)
Cumin (about ½ - 1 tsp)
Chili Powder (about 2-3 tsp)
Oregano (about ½ tsp)

Let bean mixture simmer until rice is done.

Serve bean mixture over rice with Monterrey Jack or Pepper Jack cheese, tortilla chips, etc.
