Cal's Birthday Red Beans & Rice

I recently had the pleasure of someone cooking for ME! What a great and what a wonderful treat and vegan besides! Thank you, Teresa, for such a special birthday treat for our dear friend, Cal, and thank you for the recipe.

​Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked brown rice
• chopped onion, yellow & red peppers, and celery
• jar of favorite salsa
• 2 cans red beans, drained and rinsed

Directions:

1. Cook the rice according to package directions.
2. In a skillet, saute a chopped onion, peppers, and celery in some olive oil.
3. When vegetables are tender, add salsa and beans.
4. Heat through and pour on top of rice in baking dish.
5. Bake about 20 minutes in 325 degree oven to heat it through.

Notes:
You can eat this just as it is or you can have a little fun. Teresa sent some leftovers home with me and I heated it up, added a diced avocado, a squeeze of fresh lime, a sprinkling of fresh cilantro and a few crushed corn chips. Yummy!!!
