Rice and Beans Make Complete Protein

blog-pictures-9-09-001

If you’re looking for a quick and healthy lunch, one with a complete protein, then rice and beans are great to have.  I had some left-over brown rice in the fridge.  I dumped it out in a skillet and made Spanish Rice using the following ingredients:

  • * Brown rice, cooked (or white rice)
  • * Salsa (from a jar)
  • * Corn, I used a little frozen
  • * Extra virgin olive oil

Heat the above four ingredients in a skillet, stirring occasionally.  Serve with refried beans.  By the way, the beans and brown rice are good for our hormones, girls!
