Hearty Spanish Rice


Serves: 6
Total Calories: 315

Ingredients

1 (14 1/2-ounce) can Mexican-style stewed tomatoes
3/4 cup quick-cooking brown rice, uncooked
2/3 cup water
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup salsa
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cups cooked beef, pork or chicken, chopped
6 (8-inch) flour tortillas
Garnish: shredded Cheddar cheese, salsa, sour cream, guacamole

Directions:

In a large skillet, stir together undrained tomatoes, rice, water, sugar and seasonings. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for about 12 to 15 minutes, until rice is tender. Stir in salsa, beans and meat; heat through. To serve, spoon mixture into warmed tortillas; add your favorite toppings.

Tip: A fresh-tasting chopped salad of lettuce and tomatoes is always welcome alongside spicy Mexican dishes. Try this easy dressing. In a covered jar, combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and shake until well blended.
