By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 1 can kidney beans, drained
• 1 tablespoon chili powder (more if you like it spicy)
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 large onion or 2 small onions, chopped
• 1 cup salsa – any kind
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 cup uncooked rice
• sour cream

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.
