Mexican Everyday Attempt #2

Well, I had leftover fresh cilantro, garlic, and onion from my adventure yesterday as well as salad and creamy queso dressing, so I decided to try another recipe tonight. Tonight's experiment: red chile chicken and rice with black beans. This one tasted very traditional and is a great one pot recipe that made a lot of good food from pretty simple ingredients. This is a pretty cheap meal as the base of the meal is a can of black beans, a cup of white rice, and a couple of chicken breasts. The flavor comes from ancho chile powder, garlic, onion, and cilantro. It's a little spicy, but not overpowering. Brad and I both voted that we liked this one better than last nights, and it certainly seemed to turn my kitchen into less of a disaster :) It seems like an easy go-to meal as I usually have these things in the cupboard, minus the cilantro.

  1. I might like the recipe for that one. We like chicken + black beans.

  2. I'll make a copy for you...I put the leftovers in the freezer, so we'll see how it works out after freezing as well. If it comes out good, that makes it even better in my book :)
