Low Calorie Black Beans And Rice Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

This tasty black beans and rice recipe is a favorite at my house. Black beans are low in fat and calories, yet packed with fiber and protein. In fact, it is recommended that you consume at least three servings of legumes per week for optimal health, and these black beans count towards itThe dish is hearty enough to be an entire meal in itself, or it can be served as a side dish with other mexican fare. It is super simple to make and super cheap. Plus it tastes great. That is why it is such a hit at my house. There's no fuss with it and it is just simple. Sometimes we have a little fun with this dish and set out a collection of topping for everyone to use as they wish. Try setting out some dishes of chopped tomatoes, avocado, a bit of shredded cheese or salsa and let everyone top their beans and rice as they would like.
