Brown rice w/non-fat refried beans & spicy diced tomatoes - 7 pts.
...and about 24 ounces of water
Let me tell you about my rice and beans. I use the Success brown rice bags and a can of whatever beans.......for me, usually black beans (low-sodium, rinsed off) or Rosarita non-fat refried beans. I like pinto beans w/jalapenos too!
I mix in 1/2 can of some sort of spicy diced tomatoes and heat the beans.
I put half of the cooked rice in a bowl and put half of the beans in with it. This makes two good-sized bowls, so I save one for the next day.
Aside from the fiber and protein benefits, it's a VERY filling dish for when you want to feel full but don't want a whole meal or don't feel like preparing food.
I've also had it in smaller portions as a side dish with grilled chicken breasts and some sort of green veggie.
