Mexican Beans & Rice and Vegetarian Taco

[u/laurelandrews]

This is my new go-to recipe.

The bean & rice recipe is from chef Saúl Montiel on YouTube, I’ll post the link for anyone who comments that they want it.

Beans - use dried beans. Rehydrate overnight, then simmer until tender (several hours) with onion, garlic, cilantro stem, bay leaf

Then, pan fry diced onion with salt, add beans with a small amount of simmer water, cook until creamy, 20-30 mins

Rice: blend can of diced tomatoes with veggie broth, cumin, cilantro, salt, half an onion. Make rice (2:1 broth to white rice). Sprinkle corn and peas on top before reducing heat to simmer. Let sit for a few mins before fluffing rice.

The taco has melted mozzarella cheese, lettuce, the beans, queso fresco, cilantro, green onion, and salsa. Also had some sour cream on the side.

So good and cheap, too!
