Tex-mex beans 'n' rice

1 Servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
1mediumOnion, chopped
1Green bell pepper, chopped
1Red bell pepper, chopped,
1smallCan green chiles, chopped
1canBlack beans
1canGarbanzo beans (chickpeas)
Cumin
Cayenne

Directions

"Saute" the onion in a little water, until it has browned slightly (I tend to brown it, then add the water to un-stick it from the bottom of the pan). Add in the peppers, one type at a time; heat through.

Drain the beans, reserving a little of the liquid (not a lot -- it's pretty salty), rinse the beans and add them to the pot. Add in some of the bean liquid and some water, until it's somewhat soupy. Heat thoroughly. Before it's done, add cumin and cayenne to taste (we like LOTS of cumin, and a touch of cayenne for a bit of byte).

While this was all cooking, you should also have a pot of rice on to cook. Serve the resulting bean concoction over the rice.
