Beans, Rice, and Tomatoes

I know, it's such a creative title.  But I didn't know what else to name it, and really, the picture speaks for itself.  Doesn't it look delicious?  Lance and I have this for dinner very often.  It's extremely easy, and healthy, too.  The only thing that would make it healthier would be if the tomatoes and black beans weren't canned . . . and if I didn't add so much salt for flavor (I'm a salt-o-holic).  It's also a great dinner for a tight budget.


Beans, Rice, and Tomatoes

2 1/2 cups uncooked rice
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can black beans
grated cheese
lemon juice (optional)
salt (optional)

Cook the rice.  Drain beans.  Microwave tomatoes in microwave safe container for two minutes.  Pour beans in microwave safe container and add lemon juice and salt to taste.  Microwave beans for two minutes.  Layer ingredients as desired.  Top with cheese.

You could add more ingredients if desired.  Avocados, onions, sour cream, etc are a few ideas.

It couldn't be easier!
