RECIPE #4
Rice and Beans with Guacamole
This is one of our favorite meals– we have it at least once a week.
Beans
1/2 to 1 diced yellow onion, depending on how much you like onion
1 clove garlic, minced
A couple of Tablespoons of Olive Oil
1 small can tomato sauce
1 medium can black or red beans, drained and rinsed
salt, pepper, oregano, dried cilantro and chile powder to taste
Sautee the onion and garlic in olive oil over medium heat. Add tomato sauce. Turn heat to low and add beans and spices to your liking. Cook over very low heat for 20 minutes or so. Add water for desired consistency.
We usually eat these beans with yellow rice from a package; tortillas; cheddar cheese; hot sauce; sour cream and guacamole (see below).
Guacamole
1/4 of a red onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 plum tomato, diced
3 or 4 ripe avocados (depending on size), mashed
A couple squirts of lime juice
chopped cilantro (fresh, if possible)
salt and pepper
Mix ingredients together in a large bowl. Voila!
