Clean Brown Rice and Bean Love!

So there's this "Clean" Brown rice and Bean dish that my mom made a few months ago, and I wanted the recipe so I called my mom and asked if I could get the recipe from her. She could hardly remember it!!! And she couldn't find the recipe anywhere!!! :( So she told me, I think there's this in there and that and I think I did this. etc. etc. Poo! Like that'll work, I thought!! So disappointedly, I wasn't going to make it! But then I thought, Hey wait! I am a decently skilled cook, with exceptional seasoning abilities (in common dishes ;)! So I decided to give it a shot and if it failed, oh well.

Oh my goodness! YUM!!!! YUM! YUM! YUM!!! I was making it for a potluck and everyone loved it and wanted the recipe! I had to tell them, sorry, there isn't one.... Mwaahahaha! But I at least wanted to write down the ingredients so that I could make it again! So here it is. MMMM!!! So good!! And good for you! :)

In Olive Oil saute:

red onion

green and red bell pepper

garlic (a good amount. let's taste it!)

adobo pepper and some sauce

salt and pepper

smoked paprika

anything else in your vast spice cupboard that looks like it might make it promising!! :)

Add:

can diced tomatoes

agave necter

balsamic vinegar

Then add:

black beans (or whatever kind you want. you can even mix different types)

cooked brown rice

top with cotija cheese.

Oh yum, yum, yum!!!

It's awesome hot, it's even good cold!
