Besides the chips and salsa, my favorite part of going out for Mexican food is the beans and rice.Well here is an easy homemade version of the Spanish Rice – and here is a recipe for REFRIED BEANS.

Serve alongside these CHICKEN TAQUITOS, ENCHILADA MEATBALLS or CILANTRO LIME CHICKEN.

And for a full effect make these CHIPS and SALSA.

The margaritas are totally up to you – I always include margaritas!

Recipe Notes:

• Storage suggestion: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
• Possible substitutions: You can use a different color of bell pepper (yellow, green, orange). You can use brown rice to substitute white rice, simply cook longer (as long as the rice package directs). You can remove jalapeno from the ingredients if you prefer less spicy rice.
