Add 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup of rice, and salt to a sauce pan. Bring water to a boil. Throw in jalapeno cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

I puree the cilantro, green onion and garlic together. When rice is done, stir mixture into rice.

Drain and rinse the can of beans. Add beans, crushed garlic, salt, bay leaves, and water to a sauce pan. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally.

*Lower fat guacamole*
Quarter grape tomatoes. Dice the avocado. Stir together with salt and lime juice.

*Meat*
Grill and dice any meat that meets your fancy. I sometimes used pork loin, lightly seasoned with taco seasoning.

1/3 cup beans (use a slotted spoon to drain liquid)
3 oz meat

    This was so delicious. My husband is not big on healthy meals, and he loved it. My children loved it too! Thank you so much! - 8/23/11

    I changed the white rice to the brown rice and made this dish for a couple of coworkers and they all loved it... - 3/24/10

    Very good!! I didn't put as much salt in everything and used whole grain rice. Loved the rice and "guacamole" (although, nothing compares to Chipotle guacamole). - 1/5/10
