Preparation

Step 1

Cook rice according to package directions.

At the same time, heat the oil in a skillet. Add onions and sauté till tender and translucent. Then add the chili powder and cook 1 minute. Add beans, salsa and water. If the mixture is too thick, add an additional 1/4 cup water. Bring to a light boil, reduce heat and simmer about 5 minutes – longer if the mixture is too watery.

Then serve over the rice with a small dollop of sour cream.

Serves 3 to 4 people.
