Ingredients

    1 cup white rice, uncooked (brown can be used)
    1 (14.5 oz) can stewed tomatoes
    1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
    1 cup canned corn, drained
    3 cloves garlic, chopped
    1/2 tsp cumin (or to taste)
    1/2 tsp garlic powder
    1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
    salt and pepper (to taste)
    cilantro, chopped (to taste)
    1/4 cup water if needed

Directions

Cook the rice according to package directions (you can do this ahead of time if you want).

In a large saucepan or deep skillet pour in tomatoes and chop up with a fork.

Add cooked rice, beans, corn, garlic and spices, stir and cover. Heat on low for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. If rice mixture gets too thick add a bit of water. Add fresh chopped cilantro and serve.

More spices and chopped onion can also be added if you would like extra flavor.

This is perfect as a vegetarian lunch, dinner or side dish and is great the next day too!
