And then I came across this recipe and initially was extremely uncertain about its lack of ingredients. What beans and rice and that's it? Yep that's it and it is absolutely totally and incredibly delicious, trust me. It only took about 20 minutes to cook and was filling and healthy and yummy-yummy-yum-yum.
Of course I didn't have any guacamole, or avocados or sour cream to hand and I am sure it would make this dish even more scrumptious - so do add if you have any knocking about.
Here it goes, Mexican Beans and Rice, for a super quick dinner.
Enjoy!

Wow! This looks so delicious, goodness me.
