This is one of my very few successful attempts at throwing things together on a whim. Cooking time is a rough estimate based on memory.
Ingredients:
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup onion, diced
1/2 large jalapeno pepper, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 pinch cumin
4 medium tomatillos, peeled and diced
1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed (preferably low-sodium)
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
2 cups cooked brown rice
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a medium skillet.
2. Add onion, jalapeno, garlic and cumin. Cook 2-3 minutes or until tender.
3. Add tomatillos. Cook 2-3 more minutes.
4. Add pinto beans and cilantro. Cook 2-3 more minutes, or until heated through.
5. Serve beans over rice. Top with cheese and/or sour cream if desired. Leftovers, without toppings, are particularly good reheated after a day or so.
