3/4 cup long grain rice (uncooked )
1 tbsp chili powder (or to taste)
2 tsp cumin (or to taste)

Set oven to 350 degrees.
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the oil with water over medium heat.

Add in the tomatoes (with juice, and break up slightly with a fork), beans, rice, chili powder, cumin and cayenne; mix to combine.
Simmer covered for about 25 minutes, or until rice is tender, and the liquid is absorbed.

Sprinkle with mozza cheese over top.
Bake in oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted (also, can microwave at HIGH power for 2 minutes).
