Beans and rice are a classic combo because they are affordable, packed full of balanced nutrition, easy-to-make, and über tasty! Here, you’ll take a base of half brown rice and half seasoned black beans, and then top it with your favorite fixin’s. I highly recommend fresh pico de gallo, avocado, sour cream, and cilantro!
